Can´t say to much. But ran in some probs picking up a 22 due to company left me hanging a bit.
LA Heli helpt me out instead w a far check out.
Nice people and looked like a well run school.
If im not wrong so are they also working toghether w Columbia heli and gives a good sling load course.

I went to Mazzei Flying Service. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. They're great. If you have any specific questions you got about them, just PM me and I'll answer all that I can.

Bristow has plenty of Part 61 availability in Concord (KCCR) at the moment.

Went to Mazzei and loved it there . . . . . got my first turbine job two months after I left the school and haven't flown a piston since, so it must not be too bad :cool:

LA helicopters are great in Long beach...did a conversion with them and I have over 8000hrs....I would recommend them anytime

LA Helicopters are very worthy of recommendation, the owners are accomodating with anything you require, one of them also flies for Columbia and helps teach the sling course.
The chief pilot is French (don't hold that against him!!) and is a Part time Factory pilot for Robinson in Torrance.
Good machines and good CFIs and their prices are reasonable as well!!

If i can answer any questions about them please PM me.

Also, I'd recommend HeliStream at John Wayne airport, Orange County. I flew with the owner back in the 80's at the factory course and I've flown with them now and again over the years. Well run school.
