Field Representative of the Month
The UK is home to 150 Turbomeca operators, many of them EMS and police operators requiring round-the-clock support from regional Field Representative Chris Chabrol. “Some of our operators are flying more than 150 hours a month, making rapid response imperative,” he notes. For the past year he has been serving this fleet from a base at McAlpine Helicopters in Oxford and previously supported operators in Spain and Scotland. A native of Limoges, France, Chris is an avid glider pilot. “Aeronautics is not only my job,” he says, “It’s my passion.”

Worldwide seminar for Field Representatives and Field Technicians
Our field staff is a far flung fraternity based on every continent. In January, more than 50 Field Representatives and Field Technicians assembled in Tarnos, France for an unprecedented 10-day seminar and training program. For many it was a first opportunity to meet home office personnel with whom they had only dealt by telephone and e-mail. Equally important, were the opportunities to get to know counterparts and better understand the global Turbomeca organization they represent. |
