There is required aviation training through the Department of
the Interior. There are 4 on-line computer courses to be completed with a fifth recommended.
Upon successful completion there will be a certificate that you may
print out for your records. You should also forward it to your company.
As I understand it you must present this certificate to the OAS Check
Pilot, or at least be on record as having completed it, when you go to
get re-carded.
The courses can be found at the Interagency Aviation Training website.
The link is at the bottom.
There are 3 required courses to complete for Helicopter pilots.
They are as follows:
| H1: Basic Fire Behavior & Tactics |
| H2: Organization, Communication & Airspace |
| H3: Fire Helicopter Operations |
|
