Training to become a commercial helicopter pilot at 38..... Is it worth it?
Hello
My dream is to fly helicopters for a living. And in 2/3 I'll have the means to invest in training to do so. I've been looking at Bristow's combined Easa/Faa course in Florida as the first step.
I'm very keen to go ahead with this but my one concern is that I'll be 40 by the time qualified and just starting out instructing to build hours.
My questions are is it worth it as you can't fly solo over 60 (thus a short career and a struggle in latter years)??
And prospects of working abroad outside of the Uk With obtaining visas etc as I'll be willing to relocate ??
Many thanks
