About HeliTSA
HeliTSA is a global provider of rotary maintenance training. Established by two experienced maintenance engineers, we are committed to providing highly practical training for industry engineers ready to take the next step in their career. Our approved type courses and refresher training programs evolve in sync with the industry, giving you a competitive edge.
We created HeliTSA to elevate the quality of rotary maintenance training not just in Australia, but also around the world. We give you access to instructors who still contract as engineers to bring current best practice to the classroom, and focus on delivering practical hands-on experience.
Courses for engineers, by engineers
Training is far more than a regulatory checkbox. We truly understand the knowledge and experiences you need from your course, so you learn practical skills that will give you an edge. We currently offer Part 147 approved training for the 139 and S-92, as well as engine training.

OUR TEAM
Our team is led by Pep Sayabath and Troy Johnson – LAEs with more than 30 years of experience between them. After working in Australia and internationally, and sitting a number of type courses, they saw the need for professional training delivered by working engineers. Together Pep and Troy write and deliver each course, ensuring every aspect of training is tailored not only to regulatory requirements, but also to the day-to-day demands of working in the aviation industry.
They bring theory concepts to life in the classroom using real-world examples and practical training that exposes engineers to common faults and maintenance tasks.
Our team has experience in Army Aviation, Oil and Gas Offshore, EMS, SAR, Line Maintenance and Heavy Maintenance.
Pep Sayabath
Co-founder & Avionics InstructorAbout Pep
Pep is an Avionics LAE with more than 10 years of experience in commercial aviation. He has worked as a contractor in oil and gas, EMS and in China, and managed projects as an Avionics Team Leader. As a result, he understands the reality of both heavy maintenance and line maintenance.
At HeliTSA, Pep teaches in an engaging and interactive manner you can easily relate to. He’s also a master cook who spends his spare time trying new recipes, so Pep doubles as our barbecue and morning tea caterer too.
