Just Last Year

I sent 3 of my pilots to HAI for Bell 206 recurrent training last year, Mexican law requires you take at least 4 hours of emergency procedures (autos) training every 6 months, we used to do it at Bell but the pilots were bored of Texas and we looked for alternatives, two of these pilots are very experienced (6k+Hrs) and they were really impressed with the training they got from the INSTRUCTOR, they were not particularly impressed with the school, programing was difficult because of aircraft availablilty I think they only had 1 Bell 206.

Then I went to Hillsboro Aviation (Portland) and I thought it was really good school, several 206's there and its more "real world" oriented, some of the largest US helicopter operators in the area, great service good training aides.
