*Flight students do not choose the aircraft in which to train. Aircraft determination is based on height and weight of each flight student and course content. Safety is of utmost importance, always! Flight students must be able to safely operate the aircraft controls and not have operational control hindered by weight, girth, or height. Students weighing 220 pounds and less receive training in the Robinson R22 (subject to weather). Students weighing 221 pounds or more will receive training in the Robinson R44.
