We use the Enstrom F-28A as our primary flight training helicopter and encourage students begin their training in this aircraft for two reasons. First, the F-28A has a lower operating cost due to its naturally aspirated engine (as opposed to the turbocharged models). Second, this aircraft features a manually operated throttle which is an excellent tool when learning helicopter power management. Flying an aircraft with a correlated, or governed throttle is an extremely simple transition once a student is proficient with a manual throttle.
The F-28A is an excellent flight training helicopter due to its forgiving flight characteristics and extreme margin of safety.
The Enstrom F-28A features include:
We use the Enstrom 280FX for tours, photo flights, air charter, and IFR training.
