Go 206 directly or start R44 first


Recommended Posts

Hi I am new on this forum. I am a fixed wing pilot since 1978 and flew a lot of different airplanes, up to turbine King Air's 200.

But that does not count, starting to fly rotorcrafts.

My question is: do I start with dull Robinson's first or go to Bell 206 LR JetRanger's immediatey, because that is my goal.

any reaction will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe also a referral to a good and professional training facility would be helpfull.

Thank you for your time. God Bless.

If you start in the 206 (Jet Ranger/Long Ranger) you will spend a lot more money you would using a piston trainer like the Robinson. I can't think of any real benefit in the US aviation industry of spending that extra money, and I personally think that learning in a piston is a better training experience. Learning in a Robinson maximizes your employability, too.
