Helicopters always have TWO seats, why do u need a TRAINEE for that.

Shweizer was used before, i think, alouette and Lama are also used. The Alouette III being slowly phased out i think

Like a bicycle with training wheels..
You need a simpler aircraft to fly before you learn to work the complex ones.
There is still a small fleet of SC 330's.. that the army uses for training.
The AF has decided to use the Allouettes for direct training as it is a relatively simple chopper to fly.Although still very unforgiving if handled carelessly.

The Navy also uses the Allouette's before moving pilots on the the Sea Kings or Z-9's.
