sidebar/sideflap on unnecessary R44 training pre-PPL
I failed to address the R44 portion of the curriculum they offer . . . I don't see how you benefit from switching types in mid-training, looks to me like they just want to get more money from you.
If the R44 10 hrs is close to 2 X as expensive as R22, then you're throwing away 20 hours of R22 time that would stand you well at Flight Test time. For what? You're not taking the test in an R44!!
Watch out for smoke and mirrors from their marketing dept. . . .
