Hello everybody,

just wanted to share that i just enrolled at Chopperline to do my CPL-H.
Right now i'm very much looking forward on starting the course and i can't wait to call myself a propper rotorhead. :cool:

Thanks for letting me get this of my chest! :ok:

You're not a rotorhead till you get your first coffee in the clubhouse! Welcome! :)

Good choice of schools.:ok: They will look after you there. Just remember to study and don't sit there in the crewroom sleeping like some do:zzz: . Get out a flight manual and read the good book. Ask questions.:confused:

Chopperline are a good bunch enjoy and study hard, if you need some comedy pop next door and talk to the beckers :}

While your there, go to Noosa Heads, do some surfing, it's one of the most beautiful beachs in the world. Maroochydore is good for a night out, but don't go to moulin rouge !!!

all the best mate, pm me for any ideas on good local places to go out

Thanks for the replies guys, always nice to get confirmation on making the right choice.
Surfing and a Moulin Rouge??
Sounds like there's more distraction there then there is here in Amsterdam!!:ok:

Already started studying in 'The Rotorcraft Flying Handbook'..
It's a handful without anybody teaching, but i still understand everything i've read so far...( or at least i think i am..:uhoh: )

Will drop you a line Mountjoy as soon as i've settled there.
I could use a few tips on where to go and have a beer..or two.

Cheers!

I would have to extend the definition of proper rotorhead slightly by saying you're not one until you've done your first touchdown auto!

Having said that, don't hesitate to give the fixed wing lower class a hard time as soon as you like.

ah yes, perhaps I should have looked at the date. He's probably a factory test pilot by now.

6 years on and I still can't stand coffee! Guess that's why I didn't make it full-time eh?

Cheers
