o an outsider, it might appear that the leadership and training staff at Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC)
work around the clock— in many ways, they do. Under the leadership of President and CEO David Smith and the steadfast dedication of Chief Flight Instructor Guillaume Mailet, the company continues to reach new heights in its training excellence. RHC’s long-standing Safety Course, now in its 42nd year, has been refreshed with a modern approach that emphasizes accident causation trends and contributing factors. Building on that foundation, the company recently added its Flight Instructor Standardization Course, which has already graduated more than 80 instructors worldwide since its introduction last year.
