1. Designed for Training Excellence

The Cabri G2 was purpose-built for flight training. Its safety features, predictable handling, and advanced systems make it ideal for both new and developing pilots. Designed by Bruno Guimbal in France, the G2 incorporates technology typically seen in larger, commercial aircraft — such as a Fenestron tail rotor and fully articulated three-blade rotor system — giving students a stable, confidence-inspiring platform to learn on.

2. Superior Safety Features

Safety is at the heart of the Cabri G2’s design. It includes a crash-resistant fuel system, energy-absorbing seats, and a reinforced composite airframe, all contributing to its outstanding safety record. For instructors, this peace of mind is invaluable — and for students, it allows full focus on learning and enjoyment.

3. Low Operating Costs, High Reliability

Compared to older piston-engine trainers, the G2 offers exceptional fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance costs. Its Lycoming O-360 engine is both robust and economical, helping flight schools maintain reliability and affordability without compromising performance.

4. A Modern Learning Experience

In an era where technology defines aviation, the G2’s digital cockpit, clear instrumentation, and comfortable cabin provide a professional learning environment. Students transitioning to larger or turbine aircraft will find the systems familiar, setting a strong foundation for future ratings.

5. Confidence from Day One

From the first take-off, students notice how smooth and balanced the Cabri G2 feels. It’s responsive yet forgiving — the perfect combination for learning to hover, practice autorotations, and develop precise control inputs.

The Guimbal Cabri G2 is not just a training helicopter — it’s a modern teaching tool that builds safer, more capable pilots. If you’re considering helicopter training, there’s no better place to start than in a Cabri G2.
