First of all congratulations Derek ! Derek gained his private rating with Blue Hill Helicopters over a year ago and decided to come back to get his Instrument rating. Derek chose to complete the rating under part 61 , a more efficient way to get the instrument rating if you are moving on to commercial.
Derek completed the training and check ride in the Schweizer 300C. Blue Hill Helicopters has the only 300C in the north east equipped for instrument training. With dual tanks and an endurance of over four hours the 300C is the only way to get your instrument rating. The R22 just cannot compete ! The 300C can accomodate two 250lbs guys and still carry over 2 hours of fuel !
Back to Derek .... He passed today with no mistakes and walked away with a smile, Derek worked with our senior instructor Adrian who has over 1600 hours teaching in Schweizer helicopters. It took Derek only 12 weeks to get his Instrument rating , I am sure you will agree that this was great achievement !
Keep reading the Blog for news on our FLY IT simulator arriving in the Fall . This will be a revelation in the northeast in the helicopter world.
Have a great week , we are !!!!!
