First post on here, so please be gentle
I have decided that it's probably time to fulfil a long-standing ambition to learn to fly helicopters, so am thinking about starting the PPL(H).
I am based in Sheffield (UK), and have discovered 2 schools right here at Sheffield Airport.
Dragon Helicopters
and
Alpha Helicopters
Just wondered if anyone had heard anything good or bad about them? Or had any other suggestions of good schools near me.
I always wanted a career in aviation, but due to some very bad career advice early on in life I ended up ruling it out. I am now working in IT (IT Manager), and in my late 20's, so I think it would be silly to consider a career change. I just want to do PPL and recreational flying - as much as I would love to change careers, the uncertainty of helicopter jobs and cost of CPL etc. make it pretty much a non-starter.
Thanks
