Instructor Standardisation Training

Guimbal Instructor Standardisation Training: when those who teach keep learning

The quality of helicopter pilot training rests above all on the quality of instructors. That is why Hélicoptères Guimbal, manufacturer of the modern Cabri G2 helicopter, runs a specialised Instructor Standardisation Training — a standardisation course designed for flight instructors.

The aim of the course is to give instructors the deepest possible knowledge of the Cabri G2 helicopter, its systems, flight characteristics and correct teaching methods. The training takes place directly at the factory in France or can be organised at the operator's own facility. As a result, training procedures are unified and meet the manufacturer's highest standards.

Why is it important?

Standardisation training is not just about obtaining a certificate. Instructors have the opportunity to discuss their experiences directly with Guimbal's experts, deepen their technical knowledge of the helicopter and adopt the latest recommended procedures for safe operation and effective teaching. The manufacturer states that the goal of the course is to ensure the safest and easiest possible operation of the Cabri G2.

What does it mean for LionHeli students?

At LionHeli we believe that a quality instructor is the foundation of successful training. That is why we continuously invest in the education of our instructor team and use training directly from the manufacturer of the helicopters our students fly.

This brings a number of concrete benefits to our students:

Training to manufacturer standards

Every procedure follows the recommendations of Hélicoptères Guimbal.

Higher level of safety

Instructors know not only standard procedures, but also the construction details and operating specifics of the Cabri G2.

More efficient training

Deeper technical knowledge allows instructors to better explain the helicopter's behaviour and help students build correct habits faster.

Up-to-date know-how

Instructors have access to the latest knowledge, recommendations and experience directly from the manufacturer.

Higher quality across the entire flight school

Regular standardisation courses help maintain a uniform level of teaching across the whole instructor team.

Investing in instructors is investing in students

Every hour our instructors dedicate to their further education returns to the cockpit during our students' training. Thanks to Guimbal's standardisation programme, our students gain not only professional training on one of the most modern training helicopters of our time, but also the assurance that they are guided by instructors trained directly by the manufacturer.

This approach is one of the reasons why students choose lionheli.aero — a place where safety, professionalism and training quality always come first.
