Le R22 - Visite pré-vol et check-list

Helicopters from the lineage of the first R22 helicopter designed by Franck Robinson are today the best-selling civil helicopters in the world. Its honorable performance, its reasonable purchase price and its low maintenance cost have made it a helicopter that cannot be ignored.
You will hardly find a pilot who remains neutral when faced with this machine. It has its camp of fierce detractors as well as a growing majority of pilots who swear by it.

Its modernity and its lack of maintenance between revisions have unfortunately led some pilots to become overconfident and negligent. This machine nevertheless remains a helicopter with all its mechanical complexity. Its great agility requires a finesse of piloting that does not forgive certain bad reflexes.

The high accident rates of the early years have been greatly reduced thanks to targeted training actions for pilots. The 'Robinson Safety Course' is one example. Originally intended for instructors, this safety course on flying the Robinson R22 and R44 is highly recommended for all pilots.

Initially developed to meet the demand of students seeking to know their helicopter a little better, we thought it would be interesting to publish this small book dedicated to the ground procedures of the R22.
Indeed, it appeared that these parts, which seem trivial compared to flying, tend to be quickly forgotten by the occasional pilot.
