Robinson R22 or Guimbal Cabri G2: Which Helicopter is Better for Flight Schools?
Robinson R22 or Guimbal Cabri G2: Which Helicopter is Better for Flight Schools? | FAA Decoded Podcast #13
Welcome to Episode 13 of FAA Decoded! In this 20-minute episode, we tackle one of the biggest questions for flight schools: which helicopter is the better choice for training? We compare two industry leaders—the Robinson R22 and the Guimbal Cabri G2—across the factors that matter most: cost, safety, performance, maintenance, and global support. Will the R22’s affordability and reliability hold up, or does the Cabri G2’s modern tech and safety edge make it the smarter long-term investment?
We’ll break down how these helicopters perform in real-world training environments, from purchase and operating costs to flight handling and ease of maintenance. Plus, we’ll explore why the R22 dominates in the USA while the Cabri G2 is gaining ground in Europe—and what that means for your flight school, no matter where you’re based.
This episode is perfect for flight school owners, aspiring pilots, and aviation enthusiasts alike. We’ll give you the practical insights you need to choose the helicopter that fits your budget, safety priorities, and student needs.
