The H-34 designated S-58 by Sikorsky and code named Choctaw by the U.S Army, is piston-engined medium-lift transport helicopter that was first introduced in 1954. It has seen use in the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army as well as in the armed forces of 25 other countries. Rolls include transport, search and rescue, anti-submarine warfare and VIP transport.

This virtual S-58/H-34 from Shergood Aviation is packed with features including:

  • Shergood Flight System
  • Compatible with GTFO
  • Fully functioning cockpit
  • Start sequence based on (and nearly identical to) the RL Choctaw
  • Three fuel tanks with gravity refueling systems
  • Separate fluid levels for main transmission, tail rotor, and intermediate gearboxes
  • Two separate hydraulic systems with independent fluid tracking and monitoring instruments
  • Replaceable components with separately tracked service times
  • Maintenance Workbench
  • Rescue hoist system
  • Simulated failures
  • AFCS (Autopilot)
  • VOR Navigation
  • Instrument Approaches
  • Bonus Mercury Freedom 7 Capsule Cargo Load
