Yes, it covers Brazilian law. I don’t think there is any English version for this. It’s essentially ICAO laws, pretty much NZ laws, with some minors changes, I guess.

You can pick a number of places to the Medical in Brazil. If you’re up only to 2nd class it can be done by a MD. Otherwise you need to go to some Air Force Hospital to do this. Between the choices, like São Paulo, Rio or other places I think Porto Alegre is the best place to do...that’s why I said so.

Helicopters jobs….I have a friend right now unemployed. It’s really difficult although it’s better than our fixed wing market. Lot of people that have planes are buying helicopters and giving the course to their pilots so they can fly both (and save salary).

My friend doesn’t turbine time, but have more than 1500 hours in helicopters.

Hope it helped a bit more
