X-Copter has announced the delivery of its Robinson Helicopter simulator to Flying Helicopters Made Easy located on the Republic Airport on Long Island, New York.
Flying Helicopters Made Easy flight school attracts U.S. and international students who are looking for ground, private, instrument, commercial, and certified flight instructor certificates. Operating two Robinson R22 and two Robinson R44 aircraft, the school employs flight training experience and methodologies, used by one of the best air forces in the world, to make better and safer pilots in the most effective way.
“We believe that the X-Copter simulator will help us provide a complete training experience for our students and is a great way to recruit new students and grow our operations,” said Ilan Nahoom, CEO/CFI. “We researched the simulator market and determined that the X-Copter provided the best value along with a great immersive full cockpit environment.”
“The value of simulation cannot be underestimated for our students,” said chief pilot and CFI, Yaron Kafri. “The ability to practice real life emergency scenarios from the safety of the office and develop muscle memory translates to better, more confident students who reach their goals faster and with a deeper understanding of the complexities of flying a helicopter.”
Scott Hovelsrud, sales and product manager for X-Copter, was part of the team that delivered and trained Flying Helicopter Made Easy on its new simulator. “It’s important that our customers understand that X-Copter only makes helicopter simulators. We are laser focused on the quality of the X-Copter products we provide and the after-sale service our customers receive. We think our simulator controls, visual/audio systems, full cockpit environment, and the training we provide flight instructors is best available and provides great value to X-Copter customers.”
