Bell 427 Initial Type Rating Training

[Knight_Rider]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a flight school that can train me on Bell 427. Is anyone knows where can I make the type rating in Europe?

Regards,
Adam

Have you tried Agrarflug-Helilift?

I can't see TR B427 in their offer but I can ask them if it's possible.

try Heliteam Süd in Munich Heliteam Süd ? Hubschrauber Service ? Filmproduktion ? Flugschule
They operate a 427 and have an ATO.

Thanks helimo. I've sent them e-mail and just waiting for response.

They've just replied and they are waiting for approval for Bell 427. Does anyone know another flying school in Europe that can train on the Bell?

Seems an unusual request, to do training in that level of aircraft. If there was a requirement to fly that type, surely an employer would be organizing and paying for the training?

I think you don't understand what I'm asking gulliBell. I just need to make new TR on Bell 427. Naturally, my employer will pay for it but as an employee I have to do this work for him and find approved fligth training organisation with Bell 427 and it's not so easy as we have not so many of those machines on this planet.

Have you tried asking your Bell rep who their recognised training providers in Europe are for the 427?

Alfa Helicopters CZ no longer exist.
Talking to there former C&T pilot, company closed after non renewal of ems contract.
He said your best bet is HeliTeam in Germany. I have a FM if that helps.

Schider Helicopter Austria operats at least 2 427s, ex Alfa Helos I think.

Thank you all for the help! Unfortunately things have changed and I don't need this training any more, so the thread is not valid right now.
