poor training standard
after training at heliflight a few years back and then going to canada to convert my license with great slave helicopters i then realised that getting a cpl in nz was fairly pathetic.
i was trained by instructors with only minimal experience as instructors and no actual work experience and i learnt more in 10 hours in canada than the 150 in nz.
if i was to train in nz i would recommend choosing a company that has high time instructors that are also working the machines and not a company that has new instructors trying to use your hours for hour building .
