Reporting Persons. The shares owned by Discovery Helicopters Inc. and Craig L. Dobbin (together with the shares
that may be acquired upon exercise of options owned by Craig L. Dobbin and conversion of the
Convertible Note held by Discovery Helicopters Inc.) represent 62.7% of the votes attached

This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 28, 2002, as amended by Amendment No. 1,
dated March 14, 2006, with respect to beneficial ownership of securities of CHC
Helicopter Corporation (the Issuer) by Discovery Helicopters Inc. and Craig L. Dobbin (together,
the Reporting Persons).
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The Reporting Persons are continuously evaluating the business and prospects of the Issuer,
and their present and future interests in, and intentions with respect to, the Issuer.
The
preliminary discussions regarding a potential transaction as set
forth in Amendment No.
1 to the Schedule 13D between Mr. Craig L. Dobbin and two unaffiliated private equity
entities have been terminated. The private equity entities have
released Mr. Dobbin from the remaining obligations described in Amendment No. 1 to the
Schedule 13D.
Although the Reporting Persons do not have any specific plan or proposal to acquire or
dispose of any securities of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons may from time to time
formulate other plans or proposals that relate to, might result in, or have the purpose or
effect of changing or influencing control of the Issuer, or that relate to or would result
in any of the events enumerated in Item 4 of Form Schedule 13D. Such plans or proposals
will depend upon the Reporting Persons ongoing evaluation of their investment in the Issuer,
prevailing market conditions, developments affecting the Issuer, other opportunities,
liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons, tax considerations and/or other
considerations. Also, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more
directors, officers, representatives or shareholders of the Issuer and/or third party
advisors or financing sources regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to, the
Issuers operations, plans or prospects. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if
effected may result in any of the events enumerated in Item 4 of Form Schedule 13D,
including a going private transaction, the acquisition or disposition of shares by the
Reporting Persons, the acquisition by other persons of shares of the Issuer, an
extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer, and/or changes in the board of
directors or management of the Issuer. Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a
plan or proposal, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which relate to,
or could result in, any of the matters enumerated in Item 4 of
Form Schedule 13D.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
