Talon Helicopters will be performing low level flying for FortisBC from now through to November 1st.

The original dates earlier in the summer were cancelled due to inclement weather and wildfire activity.

The work is FortisBC’s annual inspection of its high-pressure natural gas lines, to detect small issues so they can prevent larger problems & make sure its system continues to operate safely.

Low level flights will be taking place during daylight hours. Flights will pass through 23 regional districts in BC, so its expected the flight time over a single area will be minimal.

There will be no activity on the ground related to the flight work.
