Schweizer, February 19, 2025 - Fort Worth, Texas – Schweizer is pleased to announce U.S. Aviation Training Solutions (USATS) of Titusville, Florida, has taken delivery of the first 300BCi helicopter in its 25 aircraft purchase agreement with Schweizer.
Shortly before the pandemic, USATS made a firm order for 20 Schweizer 300CBis with an option for five more as a part of the company’s fleet modernization plan. The company has owned and operated Schweizer aircraft since 1987.
Brian Craddock, managing director at USATS, said “From our perspective, the S300 is the premiere flight training helicopter on the market. Our new 300CBis have all the characteristics of this perfect trainer plus modern avionics, making it the ideal modern trainer.”
USATS is taking advantage of Schweizer’s unique aircraft trade in program. Through the program, Schweizer accepts older Schweizer helicopters and applies the value toward a new helicopter. Schweizer then refurbishes the traded in aircraft, either completely overhauling it to like-new condition or providing a factory refurbished aircraft based on the aircraft and the time left on components. These aircraft are then made available for sale, offering other customers a lower price aircraft option backed by a factory warranty.
David Horton, Schweizer President and CEO, said “We are pleased to begin delivery and help USATS completely refresh their popular fleet with the benefit of a discounted trade in price. With the aircraft USATS trades in, Schweizer will be able to help more people purchase overhauled or low time S300CBis at a budget friendly discount further expanding our fully supported fleet worldwide.”
