Thread: Robinson helicopters - new possible rules CAA

Most if not all operators in the Queenstown arena longer operate them. The risk to their business is too hight to have a fatal in a R44 when they have so much bad press.
Any helicopter can have a accident. And everyday when I fly i remind myself of that.
I consider myself a safe, cautious pilot and have flown all over the place. NZ, Canada, Papua New Guinea, Australia.
But i consider the risk to myself goes up vastly when flying the robby. I have a lot of time in Bell helicopters also and I certainly do not have the same risk assessment compared to the Crapinson Heli.

On a side note, if I'm Not the pilot and getting flown into the bush. h500, AS350 and thats it.
