Greetings fellow Rotorheads,
Now, this is a bit of an idle enquiry, but if any of you CPL's fancy giving your opinion then I'd be grateful...
I'm a PPL(H) with 105hrs in the R22. I plan to do the CPL(H) and I'm slowly building the hours. I'm in the pleasant position that I enjoy my job so I have no plans to give it all up for helicoptering and there's no rush to complete the CPL. It's just something I'd like to do with the licence...
My questions are: (i) has anyone any views on the best place to complete the ground exams? Any good or bad recent reports? (ii) if I get to the stage of having a CPL(H), with hours only on the R22 (although I'm toying with the R44 conversion), what is the next best step? More hours, I suppose, to make me employable, but the B206 conversion would seem sensible too, simply because of the number of them about.
Any opinions are welcome, along with any cold cures because I'm currently grounded by my third this winter!
