Aircraft The Schweizer 300C has many advantages as a training aircraft. Its triple rotor design provides greater in-flight stability for new pilots. The 300C is capable of training taller or heavier students than other training aircraft. The control inputs of the 300C are the same inputs used on any professional aircraft in the industry. But above all, the 300C is easily the safest training aircraft on the market with considerably lower recorded crash statistics compared with the Robinson R22. The greatest advantage of the Robinson R22 is that it is 20% less expensive for a flight school to acquire. High Deserts’ use of the Schweizer 300C is a great example of their interest in student success.
