In addition, Normal Procedures, Emergency Procedures, Operating Limitations and Performance will be studied. The flight procedures training includes complete familiarization of the Model 206L-4 helicopter, instruction in the turbine engine operation, and flight instruction in normal flight maneuvers and all emergency procedures. The simulated emergency procedures include governor failure, hydraulic boost failure, engine failure and tail rotor malfunctions. A period in the FTD (Flight Training Device) are also a normal part of this course, covering Normal and Emergency procedures. Completion Standards: The customer will demonstrate through oral, written and dual flight instruction that the minimum skills, knowledge and experience necessary to operate at certificate and mission requirement level are met. Certificates Given: Those who successfully complete the ground school and flight portions of the course may receive a Certificate of Achievement from Bell Helicopter Training Academy. Flight instructors will be able to endorse the customer's logbook if requested. Special Considerations: Except for Lesson One of the syllabus, the time spent on each lesson can be changed to comply with the special operational needs of each flight agency or department. Special Training Resources: Oral instruction in the course may be supplemented by the use of films, slides, video tapes and printed handouts, and computer based training. Chief Flight Instructor: Mr. Martin Wright is Chief of Flight Training and Mr. Scott Baxter is Assistant Chief of Flight Training.
