The Robinson R22 is so universally regarded as the ultimate training helicopter that the FAA actually requires 50 R22 flight hours for anyone seeking to be employed as a helicopter flight instructor. It’s small, responsive, safe, and reliable — key ingredients in a student’s first thrilling experience behind the controls. With a large fleet of R22s and an on-site maintenance facility, we’re able to keep our students flying. Our students also log flight time in the R22’s big brother, the R44. This four-seater is more powerful than the R22 and features hydraulic assisted controls and a reversed tail rotor rotation for greater yaw control.
