Good morning ladies and gents,
Germany has a population of @ 82.000.000.
Certificates as of 31.12.2003:
CPL(H) = 668
ATPL(H) = 410

Luftfahrt Bundesamt )
Help... I'm an endangered species
The number of PPL(H) is kind of hard to figure out cause those numbers are run by the various local aviation authorities.
What really amazes me is the small amount of helicopter pilots in Australia. It's such a big country, isn't it?
