Try Airbourne Energy Solutions in Whitecourt, Alberta.
You never know if you don't try. They use a Cardinal.

Hello,

What is it like doing a pipeline patrol? Do you have somone on the right seat to look at specific things? How many hours a day will you be flying up and down the pipes?

was at a company that use to do pipe line patrol but you needed 1000 TT.. you fly all day at tree top level right by the power lines.. if you are the spotter i hered 1 season 1 pilot lost 3 spotters as the kept getting sick.

as you always look at the ground..

but thats my 2 secs could be wrong..
