I would train on the R22 , far easier transition to the R44.

I would highly recommend they have a G2 , R22 and R44. (based at Nottingham) about 1 hour drive from peterborough

The Exams are all achievable , but you do need guidance through them, and you be under an ATO for the exams with consolidation classes before sitting the exams ?
Thanks Ersa

I have sent Arcus Heli's an email, did you train with them?

I am thinking, in the long run, I could get type conversion if I needed to move to the R44. I have done 1 hour in the R22 and the Cabri feels and handles way nicer. It also has a digital cockpit.

I have had a 1hrs lessons R22 and 30 minutes in the Cabri and the Cabri just feels smoother and has a digital cockpit. I am thinking to get type conversion when and if needed in the future.

Main concern is the exams but hoping with self-study and bit of tuition may help along. Maths is not my strong point but how much of it is needed without calculators etc?
