O’Brien Helicopters is FAA Part 135 Certificated Company which allows us to perform a wide-range of charter functions from air taxi to land development scouting flights.
Aerial Surveying & Scouting
Land surveys by helicopter provide a safe, comfortable way to view potential land purchases. Aerial photography provides perspective during review and consideration. Remote estates and large construction projects often require a unique aerial perspective for buyers and sellers. Ongoing and future construction projects can be reviewed with ease.
Powerline/Pipeline Patrol
Aerial patrolling is a cost efficient method to rapidly cover broad areas of remote power and pipeline assets. We survey with a client observer or via filming for review. For companies who need information to manage their energy transfer systems we can partner to assist in the documentation of proposed routes, recognition of potential right-of-way encroachments or identifying transmission lines that need repair.
Multimedia Aerial Services
O’Brien Helicopters provides complete aerial filming for music videos, television & more, with confidence & knowledge that comes from years of being in business. We’ve worked with many notable personalities, including Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Ludacris and more.
Executive Charters
Our fleet is perfect for any executive charter need, and your pilots for the charter, Jarlath and Andrew O’Brien will provide an unmatched level of professionalism. The Augusta 109 C is especially equipped for executive charters with its leather interior, spacious cabin, and overall feeling of extreme comfort as we fly you to your destination with ease.
For the occasional or first-time helicopter user, O’Brien Helicopters offers on-demand charter to any destination desired, including short flights to nearby Tampa Bay, Orlando, Miami, and Key West. Because we have a fleet of aircraft operating throughout the Southwest, we can often provide charter service with very little notice, though we recommend making reservations 48 hours in advance to increase likelihood of availability.
