Why students choose Redwings
The complete AME licence picture
Understanding all modules, including those for other categories, helps students see how the licence system fits together.
Why helicopters are different
Helicopters create lift with rotating blades and control flight by changing blade pitch through cyclic and collective controls. Gearboxes transfer engine power to the rotors, and vibration is a constant maintenance focus.
Shared foundations
Whether you work on aeroplanes or helicopters, the foundation modules are the same. Mathematics, physics, electrical and electronic fundamentals, materials, maintenance practices, human factors and legislation apply everywhere.
Choosing at Redwings
Redwings offers B1.1, B1.2 and B2. Counsellors help students choose a stream based on their interests and career goals.
