FAA v CAA and Hughes 500 for hire
Hi, I'm new to the forum and also relatively new to rotorcraft.

I am working on my PPL H in the US, training on Hughes 500A. I started some years back at Redhill (EBG) on their 500D.

Question 1: Once I have my FAA ticket, is there any retriction in flying G registered helicopters in UK airspace?

Question 2: All my time is turbine. How many hours are required to satisfy insurance for SFH on Hughes 500? (I will have around 40hrs by the finish at least).

Question 3: Where can I SFH a H500 in South East? ( I am based near Thurrock / North weald / Stapleford)

Question 4: How different is the Gazelle to Hughes (except for fuel burn) and are they more readily available (civilian version) for SFH?

Thanks in advance,
D
