(Updated 24 Dec 21)
This year certainly brought unique challenges, after Covid Year 2020 last year. Thank you to all who contributed to making 2021 a success for Egli Air Haul. We want to let everyone we worked with this year know we appreciate your support and loyalty. May you and yours be blessed with heath and strength. May your Holiday Season be filled with bounty, warmth, and love, one to another. Happy Holidays!
The latest addition to Egli Air Haul's aircraft fleet is our Bell 206-L4 Long Ranger. It is a beautiful helicopter on Pop-Out Float landing gear.
The L4 has a much stronger lift capacity over our former L1/C30P Long Ranger. It is powered by the same size engine (the -C30P), only its output horsepower is dialed higher, and it has a bigger drive train to handle the increased horsepower from the engine for heavier load size.
Call us for your larger or heavier lift needs. Let us show you what our new Long Ranger can do for you!
Airmobile® Alaska Corp, an Alaska Corporation, is a Division of Egli Air Haul inc., its parent company.
Our Airmobile division performs highly specialized work. Its mission is to provide electric utilities and other entities State-Wide throughout Alaska with safe, productive, cost effective alternatives to maintain energized transmission line systems and other infrastructure. This includes Airmobile® Insulator Washing (Ins-A-Wash), airborne powerline inspection and survey, Live-Line/Bare-Hand powerline maintenance, and other powerline and utility infrastructure maintenance operations.
This means that Airmobile® capability is now based in Alaska year-round, greatly reducing response time in a power outage emergency.

As our Cessna 206 engine came due for its overhaul recently, we decided to upgrade the airplane to a bigger engine. There is an approved conversion kit that removes the original IO-520 engine and replaces it with the upgraded IO-550.
The original engine can produce 285 Horsepower continuously, with a 5-minute limit at 300 Horsepower for Takeoff. The engine speed must be increased to 2850 RPM to produce it.
The bigger IO-550 can produce 300 Horsepower continuously (for an unlimited duration) and only has to turn at 2700 RPM to do it. This results in less intensity of noise on Takeoff. But the engine also works better in combination with the propeller's reduced Takeoff RPM at higher Horsepower, resulting in increased thrust for more acceleration.
This increased propeller thrust with the bigger engine driving it makes for shorter takeoff distance and better climb-out after liftoff. Our customers have noticed the difference!
Egli Air is excited to announce that we have added a Bell 206 Long Ranger to our fleet of aircraft. For years, customers have asked for the bigger-sized helicopter, and now we have it. This means we can offer that much more flexibility and capability for you, our customer, when you have more passengers to move, a heavier load to lift, or higher altitude/hotter weather to fly.
Our Bell 206L-1/C30P Long Ranger is the equivalent of the L-3 Long Ranger. It gives you seating for Pilot-plus-up-to-6-Passengers, with better Hot/High-Altitude Performance, and a few more hundred pounds of load lift performance over the venerable Jet Ranger helicopter.
The designation of our Long Ranger is BH-206L-1/C30P. What this means, is this. It was originally built by Bell Helicopter as a Model "L-1". The L-1's came with a smaller C28 Model engine installed, which at the time, gave it a big boost in horsepower over the earlier "Straight L-Model". But after the advent of the L-1, the next iteration of the airframe design came out, called the "L-3", with a bigger engine yet -- the C30P engine.
The L-3 proved to be very popular, and everybody flying L-1's wanted to upgrade to an L-3. So a company designed a conversion kit for the L-1 helicopter to be upgraded to the equivalent of an L-3. Because FAA would not allow the original airworthiness designation to be changed from "L-1" to "L-3", these L-1's which were converted to the bigger engine were re-designated to add "/C30P" to their designation to indicate the bigger engine and conversion kit incorporated into the BH-206L-1 airframe.

For your remote projects, we can mobilize our partner vessel the m/v Thor's Hammer together with our helicopter. This 136-foot LCU landing craft is Coast Guard Inspected and licensed for all oceans. It is certificated for up to 200 tons, while drawing only 5 feet of water, making it ideal for coastal and river access to jobsites. Equipped to accommodate up to 18 persons in addition to the boat crew, this watercraft is a very stable platform for living and working, and especially for helicopter ship-borne operations.
Sam says "The presence of Thor's Hammer in Alaska waters, together with our offshore helicopter experience and capability, is a real game-changer for the region. A number of our loyal clients have realized that this brings a whole new dimension to the accomplishment of their various missions."

--AERIAL ACTION PHOTOS ON AK AEROSHOTS--
We have photographed many commercial fishing vessels in Bristol Bay in recent years. In response to the increasing demand for these images, we have set up a new website to function as the central viewing and on-line purchasing point for these photos.
At egliair.com you can simply click the link in the left-hand margin titled "AK AEROSHOT PHOTO PROJECT". Or you can google "AKaeroshots" and follow that link. Or you can type "AKaeroshots.com" into your web browser's address bar and go straight to AK Aeroshots yourself.
Once AK Aeroshots opens up on your screen, you will find several "galleries". Each of these galleries contains about 25 photos. The photos each have a Vessel Name displayed, together with an Aeroshot Number.
You can browse through the various galleries to find photos that interest you. Or if you know the name of the fishing vessel you are looking for, you can use the Smugmug Search Window near the top of your screen. Type the name of the vessel into the search window and hit the "Enter" key. All pictures of that Vessel Name should come up on the screen. Click on the specific photo you wish to view and a larger rendition of it will open for you.
We offer two PHOTO FINISHING options for your photos. You can select the photo size and the finishing you want, and purchase them directly yourself on AKaeroshots.com!
Regular Prints are produced on satin photo paper and are ready for framing.
Metal Prints are the latest innovation in photo finishing and come ready to hang on the wall. Your photo will "come alive" when produced on this bright metal surface underlay. This format of photo finishing will greatly enhance your image quality; the colors will be more stunning, more vibrant, and the whole image will seem as though it is projecting light. This modern photo finishing process is also very durable - they are actually weatherproof. You could hang it up on the outside deck of your boat! No framing is required for Metal Prints.
Purchase your print(s) on-line using the green "BUY" button in the lower right corner of the photo on your screen.
Or call us today at 907-246-3554 and we will help you order your prints!
Egli Air Haul has web-based satellite tracking available through Spidertracks. Just visit our website at www.egliair.com, and on the home page, select the link "Flight Tracking Public Page".

Egli Air Haul is increasing our spare helicopter parts inventory to include spare major components. We have a set of spare main rotor blades, a main rotor mast assembly, and a complete tail rotor hub and blades, all ready for installation. We also have a complete hydraulics system, starter-generator, and a complete engine, also ready at a moment's notice.
We are currently in the process of adding other such major components such as a main rotor hub, main transmission, tail rotor gearbox, and all the drive shafts to our ready spares.
Sam indicates "EAH has had small support parts for our aircraft on hand for years to ensure speedy repairs and a good reliability factor, but the addition of complete components really enhances this when we have long-term customer commitments to fulfill. Then when you consider our in-house air-mobility to position our maintenance personnel with the needed spares using our Cessna 206, our field maintenance sustainability is tremendous."
For reliable air support to your field operations, contact Egli Air Haul.
Egli Air Haul has completed equipping our helicopters for forward-looking infra-red (FLIR) equipment. We have one FLIR camera system, but all helicopters are now provisioned for it.
As our busy flying season winds down, we are demonstrating the use of this specialized piece of equipment.
Sam says, "This is just one more dimension of innovative service we can offer our customers".
