Robinson R22 Beta/Beta II
The R22 is an industry proven training helicopter. This two seat aircraft is small and agile and demands perfection from those piloting it. A course based on the R22 provides students with training unparalleled by other training aircraft particularly in the area of power management. Students who have done training in the R22 experience a smooth transition into the very similar R44 and also move into larger turbine helicopters with relative ease. Another added bonus of the R22 is that in addition to providing the highest level of training it also comes at the most economic cost. The maximum seat weight for the R22 Helicopter is 240lbs however for training purposes the maximum student weight we will accept is 220lbs.
Robinson R44 Raven II
The R44 is a great addition to a training program done on the R22. This aircraft is very popular commercially and is often an aircraft that our graduates will get their first flying job on. Although we typically recommend a course based on the R22 helicopter, for those who either don’t meet the weight restrictions or those who are looking to train on an aircraft similar to what they are planning to purchase the R44 does offer exceptional training.
Bell 206 Jet Ranger
The Bell 206 Jet Ranger provides our students with an introduction to turbine-powered flight. A Bell 206 Endorsement can provide graduates with more experience and versatility to offer potential employers. The Bell 206 is another common aircraft on which our graduates to start their flying careers. We do offer complete training courses on this aircraft adding it in combination with a Robinson aircraft course is more economical.
