Services
API provides Powerline and Pipeline services for several utility
companies in Arkansas and surrounding areas. We not only provide
the aircraft and pilot, but highly trained observers to spot,
photograph, and report damages or incursions. During periods of
stormy weather, we provide emergency patrols to get your electricity
flowing as quickly as possible.
Electronic News Gathering is another one of our specialties.
Since the early 80’s, all of the local network affiliates have
contracted our services for aerial video work.
To get that perfect shot that all photographers covet, there is
no better aerial platform than a helicopter. For that reason, most
of the aerial photographers in Central Arkansas employ our services
when they really need to get it right. One of our Jet Rangers is
specifically equipped for aerial photography. It has a “photo
window” which provides almost a square yard of unobstructed view
without having to take the doors off or hang out the side of the
aircraft. It also has a gyroscopically-stabilized,
remotely-operated, broadcast-quality video camera installed. Ad
agencies and production companies often use this camera for
shake-free high-quality video. For cinematography, we can install a
Tyler Mount for specialty cameras.
If you need to get somewhere quickly, obviously there is no
better way than by air. Helicopters have an added advantage over
airplanes in that they can deliver you door-to-door. We can pick
you up at your office parking lot and let you off at your hunting
club. Or we can drop you off at your senior prom, or whisk you away
from your wedding. Santa needs a ride somewhere—no problem.
If a realtor or prospective buyer needs to look at a piece of
property, there is no better way than to view it from the air. You
just can’t possibly get an overall perspective any other way, and
there is no better vehicle than a helicopter.
If your church group wants a really exciting activity, there is
nothing more fun and memorable than a helicopter ride. Or for an
unforgettable anniversary, there is nothing like an evening ride
over Little Rock or up the Arkansas River or over the Ozarks by
helicopter.
