An FAA Part 135 certificate is the approval a company needs to fly on-demand charter for hire in the United States. Before issuing it, the FAA reviews the company's manuals, pilots, training, maintenance programme and every aircraft it adds, and its inspectors keep auditing the operation. An aircraft flown privately under Part 91 cannot legally be sold to you as a charter. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote. How we check operators.
Company
About Helicopter Wildlife Services
BluVista Aviation operates Helicopter Wildlife Services, known as Heliwild, from Hurricane, Utah, and describes itself as a leader in international helicopter wildlife capture.
Its MD 500 series helicopters and specialist crews capture deer, elk, sheep and other animals for research, relocation and disease monitoring using net guns, boma and corral drives and chemical immobilisation, working for wildlife agencies and researchers in the United States and abroad.
Heliwild is a wildlife services operator rather than a passenger charter company, so this profile is listed for reference.
