What is your flight school doing for YOU on this rainy day ?

Sure, its raining outside and it will be tomorrow and it was yesterday ! So you call up your flight school and say-"I guess we are not flying today"  The instructor grumbles and replies -"No but we can do ground !"  Grrrrrr  Of course you need to complete some ground school, you need to work towards that oral section of the check ride and even the written test (Blue Hill Helicopters is  a CATS testing center). Ground school is just as important as flying the helicopter , even more important in some cases BUT who likes doing it ! we want to fly !

What if you could fly on that day when its overcast at 200 feet ? What if you could fly in a thunderstorm ? what about a snowstorm ? what if you could land at Logan airport ?.......... At Blue Hill Helicopters you can! In the next week we will be taking delivery of our FAA approved FLY-IT simulator, the only FAA approved helicopter Simulator in the northeast. You will be able to fly on those 'no fly' days and even log the flight time in your logbook ! Log up to 7.5 hours towards your private license and even more towards instrument and commercial ratings, even your ATP check ride  That alone will save thousands of dollars on any flight school hourly rate . You can also experience real instrument conditions without wearing a view limiting device !

Tired with flying around in an old R22 ? maybe you cant even fly it because you are too tall or too heavy? Thats ok, our FAA approved FLY-IT simulator has both Robinson controls and conventional controls, we will even set the panel up to something that you are used to.

Any potential new student receives 1 hour free in our simulator, when you take a demo flight in our helicopter.

The Industry is changing, we need to find new ways to save students money and its not with old outdated part 141 training programs they just dont work. Fly the simulator at only $70 per hour + Instructor . Are you a qualified Helicopter CFII ? We will train you for free on the use of the simulator and you can teach in it for free ! just bring your student and they pay $70 per hour.

We have so much to talk about with this new simulator, we will talk more in the next blog when it arrives.

Have a great rainy day ...........We will !

Did we mention that you can do a turbine transition in the FLY-IT simulator ?
