Happy Halloween!!! 🎃👻

Our crew (who shall remain nameless 😂) decided to get into the Halloween spirit during their recurrent simulator training this evening and strike a pose for a few photos wearing their Halloween masks! 👻💀🎃😂

30/10/2026

It’s the start of our 6-monthly recurrent simulator training program in Carlsbad, CA 🇺🇸

After over 36 hours of travel half way around the world (or half way across if you’re a flat Earther) Jan, Cam, Dylan and Allan caught up for a dinner and drinks and a few laughs this evening.
Hope you boys managed to get some good sleep and overcome the jet lag ✈️

FOD (Foreign Object Debris) poses a significant safety risk to all aircraft. As part of Karratha Airport Safety Week, our Base Manager, Jan, joined a team of volunteers this morning to walk the main ramp at Karratha Airport, helping identify and remove FOD to keep the operating environment safe for all aircraft.

👏 Well done, Jan, for representing Avcair and supporting this important safety initiative!
We hope you enjoyed the complimentary BBQ afterwards! 😊

Jan and Ben set off on a training flight this morning, with a few objectives to be completed as part of the planning and flight.

While the training objectives were certainly achieved, the highlight of the day had to be the buffet lunch — and, of course, the middle fridge — at Truscott Mungalalu Base! 😀

A great day of flying, training and, most importantly, keeping the crew well fed!

Many hands make light work…

This is certainly true in the aviation industry!

Jan and Ben returned from a training flight to Truscott and Kununurra at 5:00 pm this afternoon. The P2 crew, Justin and Russell, were on hand to help refuel and secure the aircraft, push it into the hangar, and complete the associated paperwork.

With everyone pitching in, the jobs were completed in just 30 minutes — approximately half the time they would normally take.

Teamwork is an important part of what we do, and today the team came together once again to get the job done efficiently and safely.

Thanks Russell for providing us with some photos - all photos used with permission.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Norm! 🎂

In keeping with tradition, we celebrated Aspen’s IPC, Norm, on his birthday with cake, candles and, of course, a little Avcair-style fun!

We also made him an Honorary Pilot and officially inducted him into the legendary Hall of Embarrassment – Avcair style! 😂✈️

Happy Birthday, Norm — hope you had a fantastic day! 🎂🥳

Jan drove to the hangar last night to help the crew pack up after a medevac mission.
While waiting for the flight to land, he couldn't resist trying his hand at night photography (using his fancy iPhone) during the full moonrise.

In true Avcair tradition, today we bid farewell to Mitch on his last day of duty with us.

As with many young pilots in this industry, Mitch is moving on to bigger and better aircraft as he takes the next step in his aviation career.

Mitch, although you will be missed, on behalf of everyone at Avcair Karratha, we wish you all the very best for your future endeavours in the aviation industry. Thank you for all the hard work, dedication, and support you have contributed to the base during your time here — it certainly has not gone unnoticed.

Not only have you played an important role in keeping the base running smoothly, but you have also helped improve the base itself and leave it in a better place than you found it.

We appreciate everything you have done and wish you safe flying and every success in the future.
