Hello everybody,
i was hopin' somebody could help me with this:
faa is issuing me a helicopter private pilot certificate based on my foreign helo commercial licence and ir.
I'm planning to get my Helo commercial and ir in the US.
does anybody knows what minimum training (minimum flight hours for commercial and minimum flight hours for iR) I have to do, being I have over 2000hrs flown on helos with comm and ifr?

Thank you guys

Ok I dont know about heli but I have just done this SEP also started at around 200 hours I recommend you do your IR first and then your Com , this will then put you on the 250 that is required for issue of CPL. There are no other requirements other than a FAA class 2 medical .
