One reason pilots choose factory training? You can fly full-touchdown autorotations with the experts, without putting the wear and tear on your own aircraft.

At our headquarters in Mesa, Arizona, our OEM-trained instructor pilots take you through autos all the way to the skids: throttle to idle, flare, level, touchdown. We’re one of the few places in the industry where pilots train the maneuver for real.

It’s all part of transition, recurrent, and advanced flight training built to sharpen proficiency, confidence, and safety in MD Helicopters aircraft.

We’re scheduling training now. Comment below or send us a DM and our training team will get you on the calendar.

Learn from the factory. Fly with confidence.

For decades, MD Helicopters have been trusted to perform where others cannot.

From law enforcement and utility operations to aerial firefighting and military missions, every aircraft in the MD lineup is built around one simple principle:

Performance.

Lightweight design. Exceptional power-to-weight ratio. Proven maneuverability.

Because when the mission matters, performance is not optional.

Performance Is In Our DNA. #mdhelicopters #performance #md530f #helicopter by @mdhelicopters

More lift. Greater performance. Same DNA.
The MD 564 is here. Meet it at mdhelicopters.com. by @mdhelicopters

Your 500D has more in it. The Super D20B upgrade kit gets it out.

Swipe through to see what's included: F-model main rotor blades, F-model tail rotor hub and blades, a new tail rotor driveshaft, a tail rotor gearbox extension, a tailboom modification, new vertical and horizontal stabilizers, and updated cockpit instruments. You keep the Rolls-Royce 250-C20B you already trust.

The result: more than 1,000 ft of additional hover ceiling at the same gross weight, or 345 lb more useful load at a 3,350 lb max internal gross weight. FAA approved. No engine change, no new airframe.

4,750+ lb external. 2,500+ lb on the hook. 400+ NM of reach.
The MD 564, by the numbers. Performance is in our DNA. by @mdhelicopters

Since launch, the most common question on the MD 564 has been the four-blade tail rotor: does more blade mean less authority?
The 4-bladed tail rotor that will be used on the MD 564 is not the same assembly used on the D/E/F models, which is designed primarily to reduce tail rotor noise. The MD 564 uses a completely different tail rotor gearbox and gear ratio, designed to provide greater tail rotor authority than the current 2-bladed F-model tail rotor system.

DM us your question(s) and we will get back to you as soon as possible. by @mdhelicopters

New Zealand's first MD 530N is in service.

Heliventures NZ wanted more capability from the MD 520Ns they already know and trust. Mt Hutt Aviation rebuilt this one from the ground up with a new Rolls-Royce 250-C30 engine from Asia Pacific Aerospace.

It has more power for hot and high days, the same NOTAR, and a whole new aircraft feel.
