AV8-ORR Helicopter Services INC

AV8-ORR Helicopter Services Inc. is a helicopter operator based in Hamilton, in the Bitterroot Valley of southwestern Montana. The company lists its address as 1263 South 1st Street in Hamilton and manages a private-use heliport, FAA identifier 38MT, about one mile south of the town.

The company presents itself mainly as a utility operator rather than a passenger charter business. Its listed work covers aerial application, wildlife services, wildland firefighting, construction and external-load lifting, agriculture, forestry and survey flying. It also offers unmanned aerial drone services.

AV8-ORR states that it holds FAA Part 133 (external load), Part 137 (agricultural operations) and Part 135 (air carrier) certificates. The Part 135 certificate allows on-demand charter, and the company's job postings refer to charter flying alongside fire and external-load work. Aircraft types are not listed on the company website; a FlightAware registration record shows a 1979 Bell 206L-1 owned by the company.

The company says it has more than 25 years of industry experience and works throughout the continental United States. Its stated customers include local and state governments, federal land and agriculture agencies, universities, conservation organisations, utility companies, agricultural retailers and private landowners.
