Is the TH-67A still being used in IERW.

If not, more flight students have a shot at selecting fixed wing C-12.

Also, no more solos or autorotations.

Theyre still at cairns but the last class is in progress. Started in August.

That sucks, the 67 is a way better trainer.

You still do autos in the Lakota you just terminate with power, and when I left they were trying to figure where to put solos back in the POI 

and C-12 is really up to how many get slotted for your class. Mine only had 2 and one was for a LT

I’m almost done with common core and it’s still kicking my ass lol. I’ve never been so bad at anything in my life. I do think I’ll look back at it fondly, but those 72s look like they’re on rails!

That's because the computer is flying, not the student.

I meant full autos to touch down. That's where you must land just right in not damaging the aircraft.

If they bring back solos, hopefully it will be more than just 1 flight.

Weren't the students in TH-67A common core prohibited in selecting C-12s. With the aircraft going away, more students have a chance on the few C-12s allotted.

Don't worry too much. Enjoy getting paid to fly different twin turbine engine helicopters in flight school. Besides, everyone graduates as a Copilot.

Does anyone know the cost per hour on flying the UH-72A?

If you really suck at flying at your gaining unit, you just may be the frig bitch for either 6 or 10 years. 😄

I thought that was a given anyway. It’ll be interesting jumping from a 67 to a 60M... then back to A/Ls. I am glad I got 67s for the simple reason of I think it’ll make the transition from the mike back to the A/L easier.

This was the exact path I did. 67 > 60M > 60A/L

You're really going to benefit from being in a 67 first going back home to the A/L. Guys that did the 72>M>A/L struggled pretty hard for a while in transition.
