But I always laugh when I hear helicopter pilots say that fixed-wing flying is "easier." Anyone who would say such a thing has never flown an airplane. Or hasn't flown one much.
Few thousand hours in both and I do believe flying fixed wing is a bit easier. Can we say less eventful.. Also had water coming in the windows on both.
Its certainly fits what Allanon1980 wants to do and that is get some ratings cheaper.
Hour per hour in the begining stages its a bit more financially advantageous. Requirememnts are better also. One can get the F/W rating and a helicopter add on...cheaper. One gets the F/W IF rating and then take it to Helicopters cheaper.
Thats the point Im trying to make.
Let see FH1100, I remember when that was the first Helicopter for the California Highway Patrol......not dating myself.
