A. The Robinson R22 was never designed to be a primary helicopter trainer but the low cost of operation has made it very popular as a cheaper alternative to the Sikorsky 300. The Sikorsky 300 has been around for more than 40 years and was used exclusively by the US military as a primary trainer for its pilots until 1988.
