Right, let's see; how many questions to answer there?....
pilotwolf,
I would LOVE to give PPRuNers a discount, but don't see how I can, apart from taking it out of my pay.
Free cup of coffee for PPRuNers perhaps?
Floppy Link,
To my shame I can't think what TRTO stands for, but I'm fairly certain that you can do an R22 type rating at Hields Aviation at Hawarden, which is what you really want to know. However, I don't think I can do that yet, not sure.
Sultan Ismail,
PPL(A) holders get a 6 hour reduction on the course, bringing it down to 39 hours (takes most people a little more) and only need to do the Helicopter Technical ground exam - exempt from all the others. And I agree, it's not cheap. Malaysia? Nice idea; I'll think about that one.
