Hi All,
Sorry if i repeat any previous threads, but there are an awfull lot to troll through
I am currently finishing off a PPL (H) and am looking to go commercial. I am obviously looking at all my options and deciding that this is going to be an expensive exercise.
I happened across this web site in my search
www.ukft.com
which seems to promise over 600 hours of Helicopter training time, some of the 800 hours on the blurb being fixed wing time for some obscure reason. With 50 of these hours being a turbine chopper. Books and ground school inc. all for $59,000 US. Having talked to them, it also seems a $5000 rebate would be mine having completed my PPL.
so $54000 US!!!!! (£30000). 50 hours on a Jetbanger alone in this country (UK), would be say 5 hours type rating, plus 45 self fly would come in around £21000 inc VAT. The course is FAA, but most chopper jobs are not in this country anyway....
So i have to ask myself what's wrong?
So my question is does anyone know anything about this school?
trained there?
