Type Rating Training

Advanced Heli-Fight Ltd. is able to provide helicopter type rating training on our R44 helicopters. On completion of the type rating course the instructor will ensure the appropriate application forms are completed and your Canadian helicopter pilot licence is endorsed with the helicopter type.
