Learning to Fly Rotary Aircraft

Training helicopters are lightweight and responsive, making them well suited for initial pilot instruction. Unlike heavy commercial models, trainers use tubular steel skids instead of wheels because skids are durable, simple to maintain, and absorb ground contact softly. Instructors sit alongside students in dual-control cockpits so they can immediately assist with flight maneuvers.
