"He had a great impact on everyone he met."
Poor choice of phrase.
Do you need a type rating for a 206? I didn't think so, it's under 12500 lbs.
I'm curious why BH-222 would be listed as VFR only when the pilot had an ATP.
Maybe for some reason it wasn't possible to do the TR checkride under the hood? So it was done as a PPL or CPL checkride? No idea if this is even possible, but it's the only thing I can think of.
