mechanic Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 After doing my usual Cabri snooping on the net, I ran across this article. It's about Eurocopter purchasing up to 20 of them to provide pilot ab initio training in some major contracts. Jets'RU article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechanic Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hey all,The Cabri G2 is alive and well in Europe. They are still developing it. They are now night VFR cert'd working on pop out foats and A/C options, that's right A/C!! I don't know if it will ever catch on here in the USA, but they are claiming it's a far better trainer for the larger Euro heli's by cutting the solo time down from 15 or so hrs Robby trained pilots to just 2-3 hrs trained in a Cabri G2. This video is kinda exciting, just wish it wasn't such an expensive trainer option. 2010 Looptv link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechanic Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Looks like Precision in OR, Midwest Helicopter Academy in IL and Texas Rotorwing Academy in Beaumont TX are the first to operate the Cabri G2 here in the states... Enstrom is developing the TH180 and Robinson has stripped out a Raven I for training dubbed the Cadet, a 2 seat 44 airframe.. If the economy IE oil industry ever picks up might get interesting... Wished I had taken bets on that bird coming across the pond, I just had a feeling about this bird. Price per hour is between that of a 300c and R44. http://www.robinsonheli.com/media/pressrelease/robinson_introduces_r44_cadet.pdf http://www.enstromhelicopter.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/TH180SinglePg2only.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
