Sikorsky has delivered six S-300CBi helicopters to Bristow
Academy, a Florida-based flight training school. All six aircraft
will join Bristow's fleet of 48 S-300CBi helicopters, currently
used for training instruction at Bristow's three U.S. locations in
California, Florida, and Louisiana.
"The S-300CBi helicopter is an excellent training platform with
great stability," said Samantha Willenbacher, director of Bristow
Academy. "The helicopter's characteristics give students a more
efficient and positive learning experience."
David Oglesbee, Director, Light Helicopter Programs, Sikorsky
Global Helicopters, said: "We are very excited that Bristow Academy
has continued its long history of loyalty to the S-300CBi. We look
forward to another generation of professional pilots starting their
careers in Sikorsky helicopters."
Bristow Academy first introduced S-300CB helicopters in 1995 and
has operated more than 100 S-300CB and S-300CBi helicopters since
then. Bristow is also an authorized sales center for Sikorsky
Global Helicopters Light Helicopter Division. Bristow Academy
started in Concord, Calif. in 1987, and since then has graduated
more than 2,000 helicopter pilots who now work in an array of
missions worldwide. It is the only flight school outside of
Europe approved to offer the Joint Aviation Authority Integrated
Commercial Pilot License (Helicopter) program.
The Academy is also one of only three helicopter schools
approved by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and
Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT), a nationally recognized
accrediting agency.
