Barking up the wrong tree???
Greetings to you all
Ill get to the point
I am 36yrs old and have 44hrs flying the old R22 but ran out of cash before I could finish the exams and take the test for PPLH.
Does anyone know if there is any chance of sponsorship, guidance/help towards completing this and then CPLH?
thanks

the other side of it is that i paid for all the lessons ive had myself and am quite willing to put more in if I should get any but dont see that happening at the moment for some time, but i now have this flying bug and would love to make a carer out of it and not waste what i have already spent

Haven't heard of a sponsorship for helo pilots.
For more info you might like to try the helicopter forum if you haven't already
Good luck.

From memory Bristows Helecopter's used to do CPL(H) sponsorship's, they used to do all there training at Redhill with R22's and Bell 47's before they sent you off either to the North Sea on a Puma or to the middle/far east.
I think they discontinued the scheme about 6-8 year's ago but i may be wrong.

Helo sponsorship
Bond helicopters had a small scheme running a few years ago. Certainly worth giving them a call. I think they have headquarters at Gloucester airport.
As for Bristow's, the last time they ran courses was about 5-6 years ago. The fortunate few went to the States (sunny California I think) to do the basic training. A few of Bristows training pilots went to start their own operation over there - don't know whether its still running, but that was the general route into Bristows for the fresh faced amongst us.
I'd imagine after several years, they might be thinking about recruiting again.
Certainly would't do any harm giving them a call - If you haven't done so already.
Good luck
