From what I have seen of some helicopter ATP's....he seems to be well qualified. Granted he may get an IFR clearance confused with the grocery list but give the guy a break...it is piloting skills and knowledge that counts not mere spelling ability. If that were an issue, 75% of the GOM pilots would be on the beach wearing red vests and rendering greetings to customers.

try checking out Quantum helicopters at www.quantumhelicopters.com they are based in Chandler, Arizona. they weather is great, they have good facilities, plenty of rental apartments near by if you require them. and the folks them selfs are friendly and helpful. what more could you want.
Oh and don't worry about the spelling, I'm bloody useless with out spelchecker. and it has never hindered my flying ability.

I did my IR and ATP with Quantum as well. Great place to do it. I was never down because of weather.....
Also a good thing is that the owner (Neil Jones) is also the examiner. He is an absolutely great guy.
Great A/C as well. The R22 for the training all have HSI and GPS.
Check them out!
