  • STRAIGHT-IN, FULL DOWN AUTOROTATION WITH "S" TURNS
    Even with the engine out, the helicopter is still highly maneuverable, enabling you to land in just about any clearing available.
  • 180 DEGREE FULL DOWN AUTOROTATION
    In the event of an engine lose, you can land the helicopter without power.  This is a demonstration of an autorotation, with a 180 degree turn back to the landing area, all they way to the ground.  It is called a Full Down Auto.
  • 180 DEGREE FULL DOWN AUTOROTATION
    180 full down autorotation from different view point.
  • R22 QUICK STOP
    The quick stop is practiced for a few different reasons, one of which is for traffic avoidance.  The other is to practice the bottom part of an autorotation.
  • OUR LATEST COMMERCIAL
    Watch for this commercial on Fox 29!
  • CONFINED AREA LANDING
    Helicopters do not require airports.  Learn how to make off airport landings.
  • MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE TAKEOFF
    A vertical takeoff can be performed using the techniques learned during training on maximum performance takeoffs.
  • PICK-UP TO A HOVER AND HOVER TAXING IN A CROSSWIND.
    One of the challenges of flying helicopters is dealing with different wind situations.  With proper instruction, you'll be able to handle difficult situations.
  • 360 DEGREE CLEARING TURN.
    A clearing turn is recommended to insure the airspace around you is safe for takeoff and it also gives the student confidence in handling the wind from any direction.
  • NORMAL TAKEOFF PROFILE
    One popular misconception is that helicopters always take off vertically.  For safety reasons, a more horizontal takeoff profile is recommended.
  • NORMAL APPROACH
    This approach was performed by one of our students who has only 12 hours of instruction in helicopters.  Good Job!
  • NORMAL TAKEOFF
    With only 12 hours under his belt, this is a great example of a normal takeoff.
