As far as PPRuNe posts go, that was a pretty good one.
And quite frankly, I find it totally bazaar that you can even privately rent a helicopter and hire a CFI and do training in it, with credit towards a license, without operational oversight from a flying training organization and Chief Flight Instructor.
Just like you can in your own back yard?
Look up what you actually need a 141 Cert for -
Private pilot training isn't included yet assessment for issue of a private licence is.
Seems pretty normal to me.
