After the delivery of s/n 200, the biggest fleets are in the UK, then in NZ, USA and China. These four countries should keep the lead at short term but maybe not in the same order.

I emailed the company asking about the new Hovering IGE limits with 2hr fuel with 160HP, but no reply. Anybody know? (My airfield is at 5,650MSL. Summer Density Altitude 8-9,000).

Mine too! Also no information on their website. Can anybody provide updated IGE/OGE hover performance charts? Maybe copies of the updated pages from the G2 Pilot Operating Handbook?

No change in hovering performance
I got an email back from the company, saying that the power upgrade on the engine will give more safety reserve, but the hovering IGE numbers are the same. Not good news for those of us living in the Rocky Mountains.

Who supplies updated pages for the G2 Pilot Operating Handbook?
Is it the company themselves or the local distributor and does anyone know if they have an update subscription service similar to the Robinson one?

New Nottingham Tollerton operation Arcus planning to have one soon according to advertisements.
I thought what was Multiflight Flight Training (now another brand) had one at Leeds Bradford.
And as Muffin observes, Northumbria Helicopters.
That is the end of "The North" as we know it.

Multiflight training moved to PTT who flew a Cabri for a while, but not any more. Looks like there's opportunity in North of England and Scotland - and Ireland judging by a recent post.
Arcus are flying G-VETT and here's a pic of it at Tollerton on 25th August

Bruno Guimbal, the designer of the Cabri G2 helicopter, has been invited to give the 2017 Cierva Lecture at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London on Tuesday 10th October at 18.00.
The UK currently has the world’s largest fleet of Cabri helicopters.
Bruno will be speaking about his motivation to produce the Cabri, his design philosophy and the very different processes of Certification by both EASA and the FAA.
You can also expect to hear reference to the parallel programme on behalf of a third party to develop a diesel powered drone derivative of the Cabri.
What other possibilities might that open up?
Earlier this year Bruno Guimbal was awarded the 2017 Breguet Trophy for his contribution to rotorcraft technology.
Further details and booking information can be found on the RAeS website;

I was in there last week and they said they had not got their web site operating yet. They do have a Facebook page however. They have only been going a few weeks.

Thanks Muffin.
Are they a brand new flight school or a renamed one?
Strange that they don't seem to have an email address.
I see they were putting the Cabri out at £250 an hour all in!
That is £200 less than I was paying at my local school!
Update: I located an email address, sent them a message and still haven't heard a thing back!

Rare one - dud spark plug swaging - Heli crash likely human manufacturing error
