Fly-It Carlsbad CA for training on the sim !
Sunday was the start of a four day trip to Carlsbad CA and the home of Fly-It simulators. The Simulator we recently purchased was designed and made in carlsbad CA by Fly-It simulators who have been in business for more than 20 years and a leader in helicopter simulation.
The Fly-It helicopter sim is approved as a level 5 device and the only simulator approved for the following.
More to come on the simulator included in our training programs and saving you more money than any other school in the northeast.

The guys at Fly- It were very knowledgeable and answered every question over the two days we spent at their facility. We were trained on every aspect of the simulator, from replacing components to software updates. Construction of the simulators is all done on site at Fly-It and shipped in its own trailer to the purchaser .

Darren Konkus - Instrument pilot !
Congratulations Darren !
What a great day for an instrument check ride. Darren passed with flying colors, well trained by Adrian in 300CK and the sim. Darrens ability to fly the Schweizer 300C under the hood was obvious to the examiner as he flew the approaches. Practice in our FAA Approved flight simulator helped Darren develop his skills in the helicopter.
Well done Darren from all of us and keep reading the blog for news on many more check rides coming up.
Come and fly with BHH !

Updates... Believe the Hype !
First of all I wanted to post a picture of our star girl 300CK parked at the Killington ski area. She has been working hard on checking storm ravaged ski condos.......
Check Rides
One of our Instrument students will be taking his check ride tomorrow (Friday). He has been taking advantage of some time in the sim to brush up on his approaches for the big day! where else can you fly an approach AND log the time during a hurricane ? up to 15 hours can be logged in the simulator towards your instrument rating, huge savings on any helicopter ! (more on that later when I go into detail on what you can log in the FAA Approved FLY-IT sim). So expect another blog congratulating Darren on passing his Instrument ride !
Next week will see two more check rides. Johann and Pete will be taking Instrument and Commercial rides in the Schweizer. Pete has spent some time in the sim as well working on confined area procedures at MGH helipad, also practicing some real tail rotor failures and engine failures .
Johann is getting ready to take the Instrument and CFII written tests at our approved CATS testing center here at our offices at Norwood airport. He will be completed with them by the time he takes the check ride next week .
Thats it for now, dont forget to come and try our new FLY-IT simulator at our open house on Saturday September 10th, We dont care if its raining !
