hours building

Hello Power-up.

there will be some owners of helicopters that will welcome someone like you to contribute to their costs as they use their helicopter to travel around the country.

They get some company, you get some stick-time, you both share the cost.

it's a win-win-win situation.

Owners tend not to like free-loaders, but they have the time , the inclination and the mission to help you get the hours, as they get to go where they want.

I'm based in the Midlands, so probably a bit far away to be useful to you, but if you've seen my posts before, you will have noticed that I regularly have aircraft to deliver from place to place - all over Europe. These are classic missions for a cost share, and there are many other examples as well, I'm sure.

You - and anyone else that fancies some cost-sharing - are more than welcome to PM me.

Also, one other tip:

If you use G-INFO, you can compile a list of the owners of types of helicopters near you. Why not write to them direct and ask them about cost-sharing on any future flights?

The worst thing that can happen is that they will put your letter in the bin.

Hope this is helpful,

Big Ls.
