From mechanic to pilot
Hi,
I've read the "So you want to be a helicopter pilot" thread and I couldn't find answers...
I'm a Part-66 B1.3 Engineer currently working as a crew member (HEMS, power line survey).
Like many people, I want to be a pilot
I'd like to do a CPL/IR/ATPL training but I won't learn you that it's expensive...
I was wondering if working in school as engineer could be a way to pay the training.
Do you know people who did that ?
Do you think that a previous experience as crew member (approx 1400 flight hours) could be appreciated by operator ?
What are you experiences and advices about that ?
Regards,
Thomas
