As355 Twinstar Training

[Guest BeeBee]

Who offers type training on the TwinStar, other than Eurocopter? US or Canada.

Try Helicraft in CYHU or Heli-Lynx near Toronto...

I'm willing to bet if you give it a month or two hear you might be able to get the endorsement out of Penticton with Eclipse... Couldn't think of a better person to do it with.

 

Cheers.

It doesn't look like Helicraft have a TwinStar. The pilot at Heli-Lynx is never available and actually it was recommend that I don't do it there.

Try Dave at Four Seasons in Toronto or Provincial Helicopters in Manitoba.

Blackcomb Helicopters/Omega have 2 Twinstars as well as Helico 2000 in Quebec (I think that was their name)

They had two on the pad last time I was there 3 weeks ago. They may not be registered to Helicraft directly (Coast to Coast owns all their machines). I can tell you for sure they have at least one that they charter out. They were training Mexican law enforcement pilots on it last summer...

Thanks. I tried Dave....he's too busy. Same at Provincial ( they told me to avoid the guy at Heli-Lynx). Blackcomb doesn't offer the service. So then Helicraft looks like the best option. I'll call them tomorrow. Thanks for all the input.

*** BTW..can anyone tell me why Eurocopter Canada doesn't even offer training on the TwinStar.

If your willing to go, American Eurocopter offers AS355 Training, see http://www.eurocopterusa.com/Training/TrainingHome.asp for info.

Thats because they don,t have one for training. Did a Astar course with them years ago and they had to lease one from a operator for it.
