Cheap B206 Rates?

[sarboy w****r]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a school that they would recommend that has cheap B206 rates please? I'm looking to do my skills test for the CPL(H) on one.

Thanks,

SBW

206 rates

where are you based?

I'd try Sterling in Norwich.

Sloane in Northampton used to have very good 206 rates, but I've no idea if they're still reasonable.

[sarboy w****r]

I'm London based at the moment, but I'd anticipate being able to do the hours I need in a week or so weather permitting, so am perfectly happy to go elsewhere if the price differential makes it worthwhile.

Thanks,

SBW

Ah, rotorspin,

I think he wants to fly it, not have his photo taken in it!

Try Cotswold Helicopters.

Kemble, near Cirencester.

nice airfield, lovely location, great instructors.

thanks for that busidriver, one nicely kitted 206B3, insured, sitting in a hangar under AOC ready for SFH at good rates.....

so picture that!

[busidriver]

rotorspin,

Forgive my attempt at humour.

I'm sure it's a lovely aircraft, and I hope it's happy piggy-backing on Cranfield's AOC.

Nice flowers, too!

busidriver - should have picked up your non-virtual self from your pprune name!

prefer carnations myself but they didn't have any....

[busidriver]

Eh?

(Airbus pilot dabbling in other things... Have I confused you?)

[R44-pilot]

Just to clarify.....

Your doing a CPL(H) skills test on B206? Did you do the whole CPL(H) Flight Training on a 206?
Didnt know you could do the training on one type then the skills test on another........

Sorry to hijack but can the CPL(H) flight training be done on an R22 and then the skills test with Fred Cross on a R44???

Thanks

Firstly, we don't know Sarboy's circumstances and he may not have needed a CPL(H) course as we know it!!

However, yes, I believe you can fly different types for the CPL(H) course and the test but would you really want the added pressure of flying perfectly in a type that you've not flown for a while 'cos you've done the rest of the course in a different type? I wouldn't!!

Cheers
