Volo Mission

Volo Mission Volo Mission is the world’s leading helicopter long line training company - setting the standard.

Volo Mission was developed in response to the lack of available training by skilled professionals and proper safety practices, as well as, to bring awareness of potential accidents risks associated with human factors. Volo Mission is dedicated to going above and beyond to ensure pilots and ground crews receive the best training possible. The external-load industry is one with high demands and work

load not only for the pilot, but also for all other members of the crew as well as the machine. While pilots have flight experience, many need a more enhanced skillset for external-load operations. We understand what a lack of proper long-line and vertical reference training can cost you therefore, we are on our own mission to prepare pilots and ground crews so that they can execute their job with success. Leading this mission to success are Founders, Andre and Kimberly Hutchings. By combining Andre’s extensive long-line and vertical reference experience with Kim’s degrees in Psychology and Aviation Human Factors and Safety Systems, together they have created a course to cover all aspects of vertical reference and long-line training. Aside from innovative training approaches, expert knowledge, and highly skilled professional instructors, Volo Mission represents long-line pilots, ground crews, and companies preparing for their best, most success missions through expert training. Training with Volo Mission can be invaluable to the safety and success of your external-load operations.

Last week was EPIC! 🙌🏼 Volo hosted its First Annual Long Line Week.

This event was created to raise awareness and educate those interested in external load work, while also fostering a community that connects experienced professionals with newcomers. These relationships only make the industry stronger 💪🏼💥

Volo Mission’s First Annual Long Line Week included:

3rd Annual Ladies of Long Line
1st Annual Legends of Long Line
1st Annual Lads of Long Line

Each year the event grows…connections are made…friendships are built…learning about long line expands…sponsors level up…awareness increases…change happens…an impact is made…fun times are guaranteed…

We are blown away at what this event is evolving into! It went from 2 days to 5 and now includes an exclusive event for the guys and in 2027 it will include a day for law enforcement!

Above everything else, we want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the SPONSORS, VOLUNTEERS, and PANEL guests who dedicate their time and generosity to give back to the industry ❤️🚁 We would not be able to do this without them!
