HELICOPTERS
I am a Certified flying instructor in Helicopters under the Federal Aviation administration (FAA) having qualified in May 2005 in California USA. I trained at Long beach airport with Rainbow Air Academy completing my commercial and instructor courses.
Learning to fly a helicopter is both challenging and extremely fun at the same time. The feeling of achievement when even a small detail is mastered is hard to explain. A helicopter is a machine that can allow you to access amazing places and do fabulous things. It is, however, still only a machine and can be operated by anyone with the correct training and knowledge.
The basic theory and technical details of Rotorcraft flying can be read in the FAA handbook by clicking the link below
I Fly the Robinson R22 and R44 helicopters being 2 seat and 4 seat helicopters respectively. They are piston engine helicopters capable of speeds in excess of 130 mph vertical flight and hovering flight at altitudes of 9000 feet plus.
