TURBINE TRANSITION

Turbine transition covers your transition into larger more powerful turbine helicopters. There are two types of main engines, piston, and turbine. Most training helicopters such as the R44 have a piston engine. This means that all helicopter pilots will learn to instinctively start and operate a piston engine but have the opportunity to advance their skills and further their career opportunities with turbine transition training. You’ll learn to start, operate, and handle a turbine engine safely and instinctively.
