Why the Cabri G2 Is the Smartest Way to Start Your PPL Training
Learning to fly is one of the most exciting journeys you’ll ever take. At HeliSpeed, we understand how important it is to choose the right helicopter for your Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training. That’s why we’ve invested in the Guimbal Cabri G2—a modern, purpose-built training helicopter that sets new standards for safety, technology, and ease of learning.
The Future of Training Is Here
The Cabri G2 is designed with students in mind. Unlike older models like the Robinson R44, the Cabri G2 features cutting-edge avionics, a full glass cockpit, and real-time flight feedback systems. These aren’t just flashy add-ons. They help you learn smarter, fly safer, and gain confidence faster.
Built for Learning
From your first hover to advanced manoeuvres, the Cabri G2 gives you gentle, predictable handling. This means more time in the learning and less time going over the same flight exercises. For new students, that’s a game-changer.
Safety First
Safety is non-negotiable. The Cabri G2 is EASA-certified as well as UK CAA approved to the highest standards, with a fully enclosed tail rotor, energy-absorbing seats, and a crash-resistant fuel system. Compared to the R44, it’s simply in a different class when it comes to protecting you as you learn.
Smart Technology, Better Pilots
Here’s where the Cabri truly shines. The onboard systems offer live feedback on how you’re flying. Whether it’s your descent rate, attitude, or engine performance, the G2 helps you understand what’s happening—and how to correct it. This means fewer bad habits and a deeper understanding of helicopter flight from day one.
Confidence That Grows With You
Because it’s purpose-built for training, the Cabri G2 doesn’t overwhelm you. It supports your learning curve rather than fighting against it. When it’s time to move on to larger helicopters, you’ll have the skills and confidence to make that transition smoothly.
Train Smarter, Not Just Harder
At HeliSpeeds, we’re proud to offer our students access to the most advanced training helicopter available today. The Cabri G2 isn’t just a helicopter—it’s a flying classroom that helps you become a better, safer, more capable pilot.
So if you’re serious about flying, start with the right machine. Start with the Cabri G2.
