Canadian Licensing Statistics
Ran into some interesting stats from Transport Canada regarding helicopter licenses in force within Canada.
Private 476
Commercial 2825
ATP 790
_______
Grand Total 4091
I'm interested to know numbers of rotorheads in your country under these three licensing categories.

Well you know its a small country, as an example Aesir taught me the art of flying.
A little trick for you guys, I know the names of all the heli pilots in my country, do you?
Av8r
I like your math skills, your'e almost better at it than I am
I got 1749 heads from your stats.
Last year I think it was that I got the information about at least 900 helicopters registered in Australia and with only 50% of the pilots employed there should be some jobs available down there

Good morning ladies and gents,
Germany has a population of @ 82.000.000.
Certificates as of 31.12.2003:
CPL(H) = 668
ATPL(H) = 410
(source Luftfahrt Bundesamt )
Help... I'm an endangered species
The number of PPL(H) is kind of hard to figure out cause those numbers are run by the various local aviation authorities.
What really amazes me is the small amount of helicopter pilots in Australia. It's such a big country, isn't it?

Well....... my fellow rotorheads, presently we have stats for Canada, Iceland, Australia, Germany, and Sweden.
Appears the rest of ya are either bad with numbers.....or the rotary world remains undiscovered in your neck of the woods.
Please contact the five enlisted countries for a demonstration.

UK licencing statistics at 31st March 2000
ATPL(H) 1471 (11 women!!)
CPL(H) 144 (8 women)
CAA statistics
Crazy that the CAA can't produce more up to date statistics!!!
And remember that UK CAA ATPL's could be VFR only.

Statistics seems to be like a Wonderbra, the basics are cryptic.
For germany as example, the numbers couldn't be compared with other countries. More than 300 licensies (ATPL&CPL) are occupied by the German Border Guard, paramilitary units. All of their helicopters are civil registered and the pilots need the civil license. Also a greater number are the military pilots who holds a civil license without civil type rating (like a frozen CPL/ATPL). That's possible in germany. Additionally we have the police units in each german country. Also more than 100 pilots, who don't work in the civil business.
Altogether i assume that Germany have not more than 600 really civil activ professional pilots. And from this pilots more than 250 work for the big EMS operators ADAC and DRF and some smaller operators on one of the more than 80 EMS bases.

Thanks Tecpilot,
when I first wrote down the LBA numbers I was thinking about putting that info in there, but then again I was too lazy.
To sum up, does that mean that the specie of helicopter pilots in Germany is even more endangered???

And from New Zealand...
ATPL(H) 92 of which only 39 still hold a class 1 medical
CPL(H) 1275 of which only 564 hold a class 1 medical
PPL(H) 878 of which only 340 still hold a class 2 medical.
Thats a lot of pilots for a small country! Pop around 4 million.

What about the instructors in Canada, anybody have any ideas where to search?
Classes 4 through 1 etc.
Since I am daft and slow, I might as well post what I foud after 2 minutes of searching...
Helicopter Instructors: Class 1: 95, Class 2: 21, Class 3: 36, class 4: 25for a total of 177 Helicopter instructors in Canada.
How about this one, how many schools are there in Canada?
(to the pedantic amongst us, I mean Helicopter Flight Training Units)

The Kiwi stats:
If you forget the private guys and take the valid Commercial and ATP's who should have a class 1 = 601 pilots who may be not all be employed.
The site states there are 562 helicopters on the register.
So statistcally in New Zealand and following nature, helicopters in New Zealand must be like ar$holes, one for each pilot!!!!!!! And vice versa is not entirely the case.........
And in a country of only 4 million odd they are treated as pretty ho hum. Remember landing in a pub car park on the West Coast of the South Island and it did not distract anyone from their beer!!! Maybe that's the problem.
Mind you that was before they got electricity.

Statistics from Denmark
CPL(H): 66
ATPL(H): 41
IR(H): 15 SE / 64 ME
There are 56 OY-registered helicopters (incl. Faroe Islands and Greenland).
23 of these must be regarded as for GA use:
1 B47
3 S269
9 R22
9 R44
1 Exec 90
That gives us 33 commercial helicopters.
EMS and Law Enforcement is done be the military.
