There is one of your fellow countryman located in the Inland Empire at Brackett Field (Laverne, Ca). I had the pleasure working with Mr. Bryan Robinson and his staff when I worked on my CFI in 2010. Try contacting him at: helibryan@yahoo.com

Good luck and have a safe flight!

Just got back from my FIRC course at Robinson Helicopter Company in Torrance, Ca.. The safety course continues to report that wire strikes continue to rank the number one killer of us helicopter pilots! We must fly higher and faster! RIP

Keep in mind that the S300 is an easy transition into the S369, the only difference is the power plant. The S300 is a much better platform for training due to it's fully articulate rotor system. A lot more forgiving than an R22.

Appreciate the times you have left with your CFI! Learn all you can from this person who trained very hard to learn what they know about helicopters inclusive, proving it to the local FAA/FSDO that they can teach our future pilots safe flying habits. There will be times my friend when you'll wishing you had this person next to you giving you the advise you seek. Now, given that you feel you don't want your CFI to be on the controls because you have so many number of hours! If you roll up that helicopter in "any" maneuver while your CFI is on board, it is his license that will be at stake! Not yours! And one guaranteed question that will be asked by the FAA Flight Safety Inspector... Was the CFI monitoring the student's maneuver? Was his/her hands away from the controls or lightly on the controls? Just watching will not cut it with the FAA! I personally, will only relinquish full control of the aircraft to my students when it is their time to "solo!" And when the time comes, I'll tell the student to land the helicopter at the airport and I will get out of the aircraft. I'll then strap in my seat a stuffed Teddy Bear named "Roscoe." I'll then instruct the student to bring Roscoe back home safe back to me! The student's smile is usually a gleaming one. RP

Brethren, I am looking for an FAA certificated A/P-Inspector technician who is working, or has worked on the Bell 47G-2, for a pre-purchase inspection in the Florida area. Please advise. Thanks. RP

She is in the UK right now.

Not yet in stone... But I'm closer to ownership than I have ever been. Will be going out to their facility to check it out; and a couple of finished UH12C's being held for other clients. Will have photos then. RP
