FI(H) course - 2nd student req
Anybody else thinking of doing there FI(H) course this summer?
I'm a little off the requirements at the moment (but not by a lot) and plan to do a course, early in the summer, in the south east.
I'm looking for a second student as I'm told we can split the cost of the ground school, saving a few pounds !!

The UK Schools are looking at about £7-8000 for QFI Rating. Ive been looking round for ME IR and have looked at/emailed most. They give replys for everything!!!
Dont know if it is easier doing it in the US of A but probably(definately) worth a look.
Best of luck. I will PM you if I have any luck as I'm doing the same myself.

Far to late to worry about the cost - you are a commercial helicopter pilot and now a highly paid instructor. Ah watch those pennies roll in!!!!"!!
On the subject of Sloanes and the FI course there are a number of advantages / disadvantages: I dont think they are the cheapest by a long way. They tend to use 2 or 3 instructors (last couple of courses) one is MB. one is Military and the other is an airline pilot. This means you get a number of different styles which can be either useful or a pain depending on how you are feeling at the time.
I suggest you do your research talk to the providers and make sure you are able to get on with the person who is going to give you the training, its a lot of money to realise after a couple of hours that the next 6 weeks are going to be torture!!!!

Hi
Can any of you confirm a rumour that the hours to qualify for an JAR FI(H) have been reduced from 300 hours TT to 250? What P1 time is required?
I am aware that you only have to do 9 exams for the issue of a JAR CPL(H) now and would be interested to here if the above is true.
Cheers
