Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and I'm really glad I discovered it! Seems like there's a lot of good info here.
I currently live in North West (South Africa), and I'm terribly interested in becoming a commercial helicopter pilot. It's been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember!
I've been calling various schools around the country (NAC, Base4, 43 Airschool, Starlite), but haven't really been able to get a good impression of the different schools.
I've read some nasty comments about Starlite - are they really that bad? What schools would you guys recommend?
Some of the quotations they gave me were for both a HPPL (at around R110k), and a HCPL (at around R310k). When doing a HCPL, do you also have to do the complete HPPL? The starlite guys seem to be the cheapest so far.
Thank you so much for your insights
All the best,
