MD Helicopters Award Transition Training Scholarship To ERAU Student

Over The Scholarship’s 10-Year History, MD Helicopters Has Awarded More Than Two-Hundred Thousand Dollars

MD Helicopters has reported that Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott Campus student Brandon Hutchins was selected as the 2021 recipient of the MD 500 Transition Training Scholarship valued at approximately $12,000.

The MD 500E Transition Training Scholarship was developed to support the next generation of rotorcraft pilots. Over the scholarship’s 10-year history, MD Helicopters has awarded more than two-hundred thousand dollars in training opportunities to 12 students.

In addition to a current or impending Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) rating, the scholarship applicants are required to maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0, have a first or second class FAA-medical certificate, and submit two letters of recommendation and a video essay explaining how the transition would help launch their career.

MD Heli notes that the MD 500E is an advanced, turbine-powered helicopter that delivers high speed, payload, and productivity. To be qualified to fly, student pilots attend a week-long, one-on-one training course held at MD Helicopters’ headquarters and production facility in Mesa, Arizona. In addition to learning how to operate the aircraft, students learn integral helicopter systems and important emergency procedures.
