ETL Aviation’s New Helicopter Tug



At the time of this writing, we have not given the tug a name, but are considering many options. If you have a suggestion, let us know at info@etlavation.com. Some information about the tug is below.
Make: Tug
Model: MA70
Engine: Ford 6 cylinder
Fuel: Propane
The new may be overkill for moving our helicopter around, but it much better than the lawn tractor that we used before.

ETL Aviation Purchases 300CB helicopter
ETL Aviation purchased a Schweizer 300CB helicopter to use for flight training. The Schweizer is an excellent platform for helicopter training. The origin of the 300CB was the Hughes TH-55. The TH-55 was used as the primary training helicopter for the Army from 1969-1988. “We really like the safety of the Schweizer 300 platform, and how easy it is to teach new students. We use the 300CB for all of our helicopter flight training program at ETL,” said owner and primary flight instructor Brad Fenster.

FAA Updates Helicopter Flying Handbook
The FAA released a new version of the helicopter flying handbook, FAA-H-8083-21B. The Helicopter Flying Handbook is designed as a technical manual for applicants who are preparing for their private, commercial, or flight instructor pilot certificates with a helicopter class rating. Certificated flight instructors may find this handbook a valuable training aid, since detailed coverage of aerodynamics, flight controls, systems, performance, flight maneuvers, emergencies, and aeronautical decision-making is included. Topics such as weather, navigation, radio navigation and communications, use of flight information publications, and regulations are available in other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publications. The FAA Helicopter Flying Handbook is a key resource used throughout many of our helicopter training courses.
