Mornington Sanford Aviation and Sloane Helicopters have embarked on a joint venture to establish a training centre dedicated to supporting the Robinson Helicopter Company's products and their associated power plants.

This "centre of excellence" will be established at Sloane Helicopters' facilities at Sywell Aerodrome, Northampton and will offer:

• EASA Part 147 type training and Robinson Helicopter Company factory approved airframe type training on the R22, R44 with the Lycoming engine and the R66 with the RR300 engine.

• European Robinson R22/R44 Pilot Flight Safety Courses.

Both companies have a long-standing and close relationship with Robinson: Mornington Sanford Aviation in flight safety, product maintenance and pilot training, and Sloane Helicopters in sales, marketing, maintenance and pilot training.

This unique and outstanding combination of Robinson product knowledge, expertise and quality of service will produce a real European centre of excellence for owners, operators and pilots. It is envisaged that the capability will be extended to cover other products in the near future.

Personnel from Mornington Sanford Aviation and Sloane Helicopters will be available on the Robinson Helicopter Company stand at the Heli Expo, Dallas during 12th to 14th February 2012.
