EC135 Type rating
Morning Gents,
I have read through the 'you want to be helicopter pilot' thread and its really good, packed with advice etc.
But what I want to know is do you have to start on pistol helicopters?
Next year Im looking at doing my rotary PPL and I have the money to spend so I'd rather if it was possible do my entire course right up to Commercial in a turbine helicopter ie the 135.
I realise this might not be practicle or possible but I really will do all I can do avoid going down the piston route, to be honest I don't feel safe in a R22/44. No offence to anyone intended just my feelings on it.
So... Do I 'have' to start on Piston heli's or is there somewhere I can go to do a turbine coarse??
Thanks guys, and sorry for bothering you
