Hi,

Can anyone provide any information on training centres based in Europe. I have always had a keen interest in flying helicopters and was wondering how to go about it. I am particularly interested in the following types:

AS350 Ecureuil Series, AS365 Dauphin Series or Agusta AW 139

Any info would be much appreciated.

Depends which ATPL you hold. If it's an FAA licence, then helicopters can be added on (although starting on twin turbines might be a tad ambitious). However, if you hold a JAA licence, then you would have to start from scratch effectively.

Cheers

Hello Everyone, can anyone recommend a training outfit to get a Squirrel rating in NEW ZEALAND.

Thankyou, Lone Wolf.
