PJ Helicopters MD530F powerline work in California N531PJ

The MD Helicopters MD 500 series is an American family of light utility civilian and military helicopters. The 500 series design features shock-absorbing landing skid struts, a turboshaft engine mounted at a 45-degree angle toward the rear of the cabin pod, a fuel tank cell under the floor and the battery in the nose. The engine exhaust port is located at the end of the cabin pod underneath the tailboom. It has a short-diameter main rotor system and a short tail, giving it agile control response and is less susceptible to weather-cocking.

PJ Helicopters has been in operation since 1970, with a long history and a strong passion for flying. PJ Helicopters is a leading provider of specialized helicopter services tailored to meet unique needs. Their wide range of services include aerial surveys, construction support for electrical utility projects, firefighting, utility operations and more.
