What you need to know about helicopters

If you love helicopters so much you may even want to set up your own rental business or helicopter pilot school! If this is the case, you can consider helicopter leasing to get the aircraft that you need for your business. One of the most economical helicopters to own is the Robinson helicopter. It is a favorite of many flight schools and training facilities worldwide. So, let’s see what you need to know about helicopters?

One thing you do need to take note of is that helicopters are designed in such a way that they are not as stable as winged aircraft. As such, learning how to fly a helicopter is much more intense than training to fly an airplane. Because of this, some instructors prefer that students are already qualified pilots for winged aircraft before attending lessons on how to fly a helicopter.

There are many technical complexities, training requirements and other costs of owning or learning to fly a helicopter. This makes qualified helicopter pilots much harder to find compared to a winged aircraft pilot. However, having the ability to fly and land almost anywhere without being dependent on having a runway is one of the obvious attractions of the helicopter.
