Safety & Compliance — Our Certifications and Regulatory Standing

Our Commitment to Safety & Compliance

At Lombok Heli Tour, safety is not a department; it is the bedrock of our entire operation. There is no compromise, no shortcut, and no aspect of our service more important than the well-being of our guests and our crew. We operate to a standard that not only meets but exceeds the stringent regulations set by the Indonesian Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and international aviation best practices. This page provides a transparent overview of our licenses, certifications, and the rigorous safety protocols that govern every flight.

Regulatory & Corporate Compliance

We are a fully licensed and legally registered entity in the Republic of Indonesia, committed to transparent and ethical operations.

  • Air Operator Certificate (AOC): We hold a valid AOC issued by the Indonesian DGCA, which authorizes us to conduct commercial air transport operations. This certificate is subject to regular, rigorous audits by the authorities.

Aircraft & Maintenance

Our commitment to safety begins with our equipment. We operate the best aircraft and maintain it to the highest possible standards.

  • Aircraft: We exclusively fly the Bell H125 (formerly AS350 B3e), a world-renowned helicopter celebrated for its outstanding performance, reliability, and safety features, especially in high-altitude environments like Mount Rinjani.
  • Maintenance Program: Our aircraft is maintained in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s approved maintenance schedule and DGCA regulations. All maintenance is performed by certified engineers and every action is meticulously logged.
  • Daily Inspections: Before the first flight of each day, our pilots and engineers conduct a thorough pre-flight inspection of the helicopter, covering all critical systems, from engine to rotor blades.

Pilot & Crew Standards

A safe flight depends on the expertise and professionalism of the crew. We invest heavily in our human resources.

  • Licensing and Experience: Our pilots hold Indonesian Commercial Pilot Licenses (CPL-H) or Airline Transport Pilot Licenses (ATPL-H) with specific type ratings for the Bell H125. We require a minimum of 3,000 flight hours for command positions.

  • Crew Resource Management (CRM): Our entire team, including ground staff, is trained in CRM principles to foster clear communication, teamwork, and effective decision-making in all situations.

Operational Safety Protocols

Our safety culture is embedded in our daily procedures.

  • Safety Management System (SMS): We operate a comprehensive SMS, compliant with ICAO standards. This proactive system allows us to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and implement mitigation strategies before they become incidents.
  • Flight Planning & Weather Monitoring: No flight departs without a detailed flight plan filed with AirNav Indonesia. We use advanced weather monitoring technology and have strict weather minimums for operations, especially around mountainous terrain like Rinjani.
  • Emergency Response Plan (ERP): We have a detailed ERP that is regularly drilled and reviewed. This plan includes coordination protocols with local authorities, including BASARNAS (National Search and Rescue Agency) and the nearest hospitals.
  • GPS Tracking: Every flight is monitored in real-time via satellite GPS tracking, allowing our operations team to know the exact location of the aircraft at all times.
