COURSE DESCRIPTION:  This is a basic "hands-on" course in the general maintenance and repair of the R22, R44 and R66  helicopters.*  A thorough review and explanation of the Maintenance Manuals is provided with emphasis on routine maintenance and repair.  Courses are taught in English only.  Students not fluent in the English language must provide their own interpreter.

*Training for the RR300 engine installed in the R66 is provided by Rolls-Royce; 
see www.rolls-royce.com/training/civil/indianapolis/RR300.pdf


WHO SHOULD ATTEND: The course is only available to licensed Airframe and Powerplant (A & P) mechanics or engineers.

COURSE DURATION AND SCHEDULE: R22/R44:  Course duration is 8 full da
ys, Monday through Friday, excluding Saturday and Sunday, and continuing Monday through Wednesday.  (Note:  The last day of the course is a full day.)  R66:  Course duration is 1 day.  Some exceptions may be made to accommodate holidays and special events (please refer to the course schedule).  Instruction commences promptly at 8:00 a.m. and concludes at approximately 5:30 p.m. each day.  Students should arrive at least ten minutes early each morning to find a seat and get settled for the day's session.  Students not fluent in English are encouraged to arrange their travel schedule to accommodate extra training should it be necessary.

CERTIFICATION: Since all students are licensed technicians, a working knowledge of aircraft hardware, piston engines (R22 & R44), turbine engines (R66), sheet-metal construction techniques, weight & balance, physics, and electronics is presumed.  Students are encouraged to review subject areas they may be weak in prior to attending.  Students will be evaluated orally both during morning lecture and afternoon shop sessions.  Afternoon shop sessions will also be used to evaluate student’s practical ("hands-on") performance.  Written exams will be given daily following the afternoon shop session.  Passing grades are required on all exams; course attendance alone does not guarantee passing.

TUITION: $450.00 per person for the R22/R44 course, $250.00 per person for the R66 course (previous R22/R44 course completion is required prior to attending the R66 course).  Tuition is non-refundable if cancellation is not received at least 2 weeks prior to the course date.  All cancellations must be received in writing.  A 10% processing fee will incur on cancellations received  prior to 2 weeks of the course date.  If rescheduling within 2 weeks of the course date, an additional 50% tuition is required.  No-shows forfeit their tuition. 

ENROLLMENT: A completed enrollment form, a copy of the attendee's A & P license (or equivalent) (both sides), a photo I.D. copy, and tuition must be received by RHC prior to confirmation of the course date.  Enrollment is limited to fifteen students per class, on a first-come, first-serve basis; therefore, registration and tuition should be submitted as far in advance as possible to ensure confirmation.  Course reservations are only valid for the mechanic listed on the confirmation letter and are not transferable. Classes are subject to cancellation if sufficient registration is not achieved two weeks prior to commencement of each scheduled class.
