want to start rotary flying
I have a JAR PPL (fixed wing) with a few hundred hours and I want to now tackle the challenge of rotary flight. I have had a chat with a couple of heli pilots and from what I can work out, most of the exams are the same, and I can cross credit some fixed wing hours across.
How many hours do I have to do and what exams will need to be done? I had a quick go in a rotorway the other day and although I was over controlling a bit, I managed to hover it for a few mins before we flew away and I felt quite comfortable in forward flight (I was expecting it to be impossible from what people told me!)
Also, has anyone got any recommendations for training? im in Essex (Canvey Island)
