Sikorsky Places Six S-300CBi Helos With Bristow Academy

Sikorsky has delivered six S-300CBi helicopters to Bristow Academy, a Florida-based flight training school. All six aircraft will join Bristow's fleet of 48 S-300CBi helicopters, currently used for training instruction at Bristow's three U.S. locations in California, Florida, and Louisiana.
 
"The S-300CBi helicopter is an excellent training platform with great stability," said Samantha Willenbacher, director of Bristow Academy. "The helicopter's characteristics give students a more efficient and positive learning experience."
 
David Oglesbee, Director, Light Helicopter Programs, Sikorsky Global Helicopters, said: "We are very excited that Bristow Academy has continued its long history of loyalty to the S-300CBi. We look forward to another generation of professional pilots starting their careers in Sikorsky helicopters."
 
Bristow Academy first introduced S-300CB helicopters in 1995 and has operated more than 100 S-300CB and S-300CBi helicopters since then. Bristow is also an authorized sales center for Sikorsky Global Helicopters Light Helicopter Division. Bristow Academy started in Concord, Calif. in 1987, and since then has graduated more than 2,000 helicopter pilots who now work in an array of missions worldwide.  It is the only flight school outside of Europe approved to offer the Joint Aviation Authority Integrated Commercial Pilot License (Helicopter) program.

The Academy is also one of only three helicopter schools approved by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT), a nationally recognized accrediting agency.
