Pilots Return From Italy 139 Training

Two of our pilots (Rick Lord and Alex Carroll) have just returned from 139 simulator training in Italy. Their sim instructor was Rob Carr, ex-military from the British Army and Royal Navy then out to civilian flying on police and rescue type work before coming over to Rotorsim.

"A good guy, practical and thorough, relaxed in the sim but firm enough to not let you get away with anything, first class all round", states Allan. "Types of training involved were sorties, sim, external power start, and ground taxi manoeuvres, and basic emergencies just to name a few. An extensive training schedule. We did get a bit of a chance to enjoy Italy".

"There is an internet room and international direct dial calls are free so keeping in touch with home is not too much of a hassle, the canteen is open at 1200 and the grub is free unless you get certain items. Think rig food (not hot cuisine) but, not bad either)".

Well done fellas and welcome back!
