Female owned and operated, Wr Bar Helicopters plans to be a game-changing training provider in the local community. “We can teach pilots potentially lifesaving techniques in a controlled and comfortable environment using the MH350 while minimizing their training costs,” said owner and co-founder Jady Holland. “I am excited to use the ELITE AATD to usher in a new era of knowledgeable, professional pilots.”

The Houston area, where Wr Bar Helicopters operates, has one of the highest GA populations in the country with complicated airspaces and high-density traffic, which greatly adds to the value of training on a simulator in addition to flight training.

“With the ever-changing weather patterns here in the Gulf Coast area, staying current and proficient on IFR [instrument flight rules] skills is essential, especially as a VFR [visual flight rules] pilot who could encounter inadvertent IMC [Instrument meteorological conditions].

“ELITE’s MH350 is a fantastic product for FAR 61.57(c) instrument experience as well as VFR training,” said Wr Bar Helicopter’s chief flight instructor and co-founder Richard Holland.
