Should I take it that Boatpix do not require folks to have FAA CPL anymore since they make sure all their hourbuilding instructors have FAA CFI?
Also, I got to know about that 170lbs body or flying weight in the past.
The document linked above mentions single pilot heli flown by two persons claiming PIC time. They do mention traffic watch, also use 'etc'.
Would the use of Boatpix Robbies for commercial work, flown by FAA CFI 'giving dual instruction' (or as safety pilot??) how to fly R22 for picture taking, busy taking pictures of yachts him/herself, not be frown upon by UK CAA?
Maybe the FAA CPL requirement I read on the website before, was to cover for the lack of FAA CFI. Some US pilots may just want to hourbuild to meet SFAR 73 requirements, having finished their CPL with sub-200hr TT heli, but European pilots may need the hours count towards JAA(EASA-ish) CPL and probably 250hr requirement for their FIC.
I'm slimming down, but may not make it to 170lbs either weight. Last time that weight when starved after tonsillectomy many years ago. Well..

You can weigh up to 235 pounds as we have instructors that weigh 120 pounds. For a job with us you need to weigh less than 180 pounds but most people can get down to that weigh with several months on NutriSystem.
