New Helicopter Pilot by SNA, Orange County, Ca

[rhood99]

Hello,

I am about to solo in my R44 Helicopter and was wondering what other helicopter pilots are living in Orange County that may be interested in sharing costs during trips? I own an R44 hangared at SNA and wish to meet other helicopter private pilots who may want to share expenses in using my helicopter as I build up my hours after I obtain my Private Pilots license in the next month.. Pay half of the gas and you can ride along, etc.

Thanks!

You at Tridair? Did some training there. Wish I had that opportunity then :P

Why...? Only one of you can log the time unless the other person is a CFI....at which point HE is paying YOU to instruct you.....

Yeah! I do not understand it either. I guess he needs his solo time so nobody else should be aboard, let alone logging time.
Besides this if I remember correctly as student pilot not rated yet he cannot carry passengers.
Strange propossal

I got that, but he wants to meet:

other helicopter private pilots

to fly with.... What would be their incentive to pay to ride along---only ONE can log the time at any given time.

Yes, we all understand CFI 101. If it has duals installed it would be a cheap way to get some time. Sounds like fun.
