Schweizer 300CBi training in the UK???
A friend of mine, who is based in SE London, is keen on doing a PPL/CPL Course in the Schweizer 300CBi but since Biggin Hill Heli has closed I'm not sure where would be the best School to go to?
If anyone is aware of any FTO's who have the 300CBi in their fleet I know he would be very grateful for your help. The few that I'm aware of are: Cabair at Biggin Hill - 1 x 300cbi (Hasn't been available ALL year though) Bournemouth - 1 x 300cbi (PPL only) Fast at Shoreham - 1 x 300c Stirling in Norwich - 2 x 300cbi Many thanks :ok: |
How far North would he want to travel? I know a very experienced 300 man.

Thanks CC - I think he's quite flexible and would probably get a B&B and stay there for a week at a time if neccessary!
PM me his details anyhow please as I'm looking at doing a couple of hrs myself as it's been a while since I flew the 300! Cheers, KM |
There is a school at Barton that trains on 300CBi and also the Helicentre at Liverpool uses 2 or 3 300's in various guises.
Both places have good instructors. If you need further info PM me. |
When I last looked, cabair at Blackbushe had one, or this that out of date now ?
Failing that there are always plenty at Oxford (they sell them) |
Oxford no longer carries out helicopter training and CSE are sales ane engineering only as far as I know.
If it was me, I would go to Sterling in Norwich. Ah! It was me and I did! Cheers Whirls |
PS - there is one at Blackbushe, I know the instructor there - would recommend that or Sterling @ Norwich.

Cabair biggin have a 300. It is now up.
|
I recommend Helicentre Liverpool (Helicentre.com). They have 5 300's (inc 3 CBi's) and are approved for PPL and CPL training. Probably the busiest 300 school in UK.
|
There's brand new 300 CBi at Southend now £246 dual!! :)
|
Out of curiosity does the Helicentre in Liverpool still operate the S-300CBi? I was looking at their website and only see the older 300 model listed in the fleet.
Thanks :) |
London Helicopters at Redhill have one..
|
Fast Helicopters have a 300 in Shoreham
|

Bournemouth Helicopters operate a new 300cbi. good company, good chaps

Old post but....
London Helicopter Centres at Redhill EGKR have a 300CBi.
It takes about 40 mins on the Tonbridge train from London Bridge Great place |
Two adverts for the price of none!

@Kopterman: your friend would be better off doing the ground bit while in the UK, using some of the distance learning outfits (Modular) and completing the flying portion in the States where everyone knows where :)
