Helicopter CPL

Hi all,

I need advice on a range of topics related to training for the helicopter CPL.

First I am looking at Aerolink Sabadell for training does anyone know anything about them or opinions?

Second I am wondering about the level of maths and pushcart required to pass the course - maths was never my favorite subject although I liked physics. Is a lot or high level maths required?

Third what are prospects like for newly qualified pilots in Spain? They claim I will have no problem getting a job and that companies will even pay for my type rating after coming off the R44 - I have my doubts.

Is this qualification only the start and will I need many more hours before a company will even look at me?

I have heard that companies such as Inaer take you and they pay you but you acquire no hours and legally you can only do that for three years before you need to get type rated?

To be honest I am very confused and am hearing lots of different stories of helicopter pilot prospects - must say its a dead end I really want to do this but most make a hard headed decision based on facts.

Thank you
