fixed wing or rotary wing?
Steve R wrote: So does that mean if a student is training in something other than a Robinson, then the numbers originally quoted are possible by regulation? Yes, but it hardly really matters. The Robinson SFAR is not a practical limitation because you're not likely to be a safe enough pilot to solo in less time/training than the SFAR prescribes. That being the case, I don't see why the FAA doesn't just apply the regs to everybody as apposed so singleing out one manufacturer. Just because someone is "not likely to be..." does not mean that someone else will not be. The R22's were having an unusual number of accidents, so the FAA acted to address that problem. Don W. |

fixed wing or rotary wing?
Hi,
I am interested to have a helicopter course, but since 1991 no aviation school here open in Indonesia a helicopter course. May i know the name of your flight school ? cheers, Anggoro Craig Campbell wrote: I am about to start my private pilot helicopter course. I have been told that learning fixed wing first makes it much easier. I am not sure what to do as my heart was set on rotary but I want to do it right first time. Can anyone please give me feedback on this? Thanks Craig Campbell |
