Re: Helicopter Pilot - where to start?

yeah man , you will have to choose a school which will give you the chance to get hired . your first job will be instruction and it's a whole lot of fun teaching . and meeting new students . it's very rewarding . your student has the controls most of the time but you get them off him when your showing him stuff and fixing the mess they get you into .

average pay depends on the state you choose . $15 -$20 I think . and you could make a decent living with a few full time students . flying and one on one brieifings help add to pay package . sometimes you will get the intro flights and they are fun cos you get to show them how the machine works and try to get them hooked so they come back for more madness.
