R44 Raven I "Northumbria Zero Five".

AOC Approval Number (AOC GB2257)

Our AOC operation is up and running. We are now operate charter and pleasure flights independently. Capt Mark "Marky Mark" Robinson (Metro Radio) is our Chief Pilot. Well done to us all and for all your hard work it is hugely appreciated.

Our Carlisle Base is up and running well, lots of students and lots of Trial Lessons.

We have one full time instructor: Capt Scott Dixon 40years old, FI(H) CFI/HT 3200+ Hours on R22, R44, and Bell 206 Jetranger certainly not a "Spotty Faced Teenager"!

We also have two part time instructors: Capt Andrew Hutchinson and Capt Brett Jeffery.

We fly primarily The Most Difficult Helicopter on the planet to fly! The Robinson R22. It is most certainly not a "Toy Trainer"(Any Challenges Welcome)! It is an Avco Lycoming 4 Cylinder, 5.3 Litre powered two seater aircraft, built in Torrance in California by The Robinson Helicopter Company and is the most popular light aircraft on the planet! Statistically it is more reliable and cost effective than any turbine powered aircraft.
