Training

My name is Lars Estal. I'm a CEO at QualityCopter and SkyCopter in Denmark. As a young boy, I grew a passion for aviation, and as many others wanted to become a pilot, I was lucky enough to be able to complete the education both for fixed wing and helicopter. And today I fly a business jet and business helicopter. So the operation at QualityCopter is a flight school, and we educate pilots from the ground up all the way to full commercial certificates, and on top of that we have the possibility to educate pilots on the Bell 505. I find it easy to fly, the checklists are good and the systems are easy to understand. The Bell 505 is very good helicopter for type rating training, and it's a good step for our commercial pilots to go into the turbine world. On top of that, the systems, the Garmin displays in the cockpit are very visual, and we get a lot of information that we normally don't have on our school helicopters, and also the terrain warning system is highly likable on this helicopter. It's a very nice system and good for safety. We find it very interesting, and it's a very safe and good helicopter. We like to operate with this helicopter. At QualityCopter, we have a good connection with the Bell team, and we have been working together for more than a year, which has been a positive experience. There's a lot of support, and we can get the information that we need to be able to provide the good education for the pilots. So we are happy about the support from Bell.
