To comply with current CAA regulations, all Robinson R22 and R44 pilots are required to undergo Robinson Safety Awareness Training (RSAT).
Key elements of the training will include:
- A new syllabus of R22/R44 ‘Ground’ and ‘in-flight training’ is prescribed.
- The training will be completed by CAA certificated Part 119 and 141 organisations, or operators who have an approved Robinson safety course.
- It will be delivered by suitably approved and qualified A or B-cat instructors.
- A General Aviation examiner with Robinson safety awareness privileges must approve the A and B-cat instructors delivering the awareness training.
- The training will be required when new pilots are type rated.
- Ongoing training will be required every 24 months.
- Practical and relevant training, depending on your sector of aviation we can apply the course to be relevant to you.
- The pre-solo dual requirements on the R22 and R44 have been raised to 20 hours.
