You've come to the right place. Welcome.
There is a sticky thread at the top of the forum:

Some of the threads might feel a bit out of date now but make a brew and start ploughing throw the various links. If you've still got any questions after reading that lot, fire away. Unfortunately, things are currently quite tough in the industry worldwide and there are currently lots of helicopter pilots out of work. But don't necessarily let that put you off.
