Liberty Technologies, a leading company in innovation and
the production of highly advanced turbine aircraft, has incorporated a
comprehensive flight training program into its business operations.
This program uses state-of-the-art teaching techniques and personalized
hands-on interaction to provide a wide range of ground and flight instruction
tailored to the unique needs of its customers.
Our training program is comprehensive, able to provide instruction at all
levels.
Mission
The mission of
Liberty’s training program is to enhance flight safety by providing customers with
the knowledge, skills and practical experience necessary to safely and legally
operate
Liberty’s line of advanced turbine-powered helicopters.
Additionally, the training program bolsters customer satisfaction by
enhancing the purchase experience.
Philosophy
Liberty’s training program is tailored to suit the needs of our customers and is
designed to provide a broad spectrum of instruction at all levels.
The program follows the guidelines of the United States Federal Aviation
Administration’s (FAA) rotorcraft flying handbook and associated regulations.
Customers come to Liberty
with a range of flight credentials. Some
have no flight experience, and others have more detailed knowledge of
helicopters and decades of rotorcraft flight experience.
Liberty’s philosophy is to meet the needs of all our customers by tailoring our
syllabi to each customer’s level of experience.
By doing so, we will ensure the safe and efficient operations of our
products and increase the inherent value to the customer.

Ground
Instruction
Ground school is an essential part of any training program.
Liberty
’s ground school provides classroom instruction on
Liberty
helicopter systems, rotorcraft aerodynamics, weight and balance, rotorcraft
performance and flying qualities, basic and advanced helicopter flight
maneuvers,
Liberty
helicopter emergency procedures, instruments and night flying operations.
Instruction will take place at Liberty Technology’s world
headquarters in
Ellsworth,
Kansas. Instruction will be by seminar
with certified instructors, employing entertaining and comprehensive
presentations using the latest in classroom media and professionally-designed
courseware. By holding ground
classes at
Liberty
’s main facilities, frequent trips to the manufacturing centers will be
conducted to gain added insight into
Liberty
’s world-class helicopters, engines and manufacturing processes.
This hands-on approach significantly enhances the learning environment
and reinforces concepts presented in classroom lectures.
In addition to seminars, Liberty’s comprehensive ground training program involves practical application skills
training through directed laboratory and simulator work groups.
Group training is used to the maximum extent practicable, but Liberty
can accommodate any class size to suit the unique requirements of its
customers.
Flight
Instruction
Liberty’s flight program dovetails with its ground school.
Flight instruction takes place between
Liberty’s onsite heliport, Ellsworth’s
Municipal
Airport
and
Salina
’s Municipal
Airport
. Instruction is offered in all of Liberty’s products. Basic flight
instruction takes a student through a logical progression of those skills
required to safely operate a helicopter.
Flight instruction includes practical training in ground
and preflight inspections, cockpit fundamentals and all pre-start activities,
checklist usage, safe radio procedures, safe engine operation and rotor
engagement, hovering skills (to include safe translation), takeoff, instrument
takeoff, pattern fundamentals, landing/transition techniques, instrument flight
procedures, cross-country navigation skills, and emergency procedures to include
engine failure and autorotation training.
Flight instruction will take place in a
Liberty
750T initially, and students will progress solo flights in our
Liberty
500T for time building.
