Bell 206 Type in texas
Hi guys,
I´m going to Texas to take a CFI course with Jerry Trimble Helicopters, and since i´m going there I was thinking in obtaining the Bell 206 Type, does anyone know a good and cheap place to get it?
Thanks

There is no such thing as a 206 type rating in the US, so you won't find one.
Also good and cheap don't go in the same sentence, however these guys run a good operation: Longhorn Helicopters, Inc.
Of course as you are already in Texas you could go to Bell's Training Academy in Fort Worth. Good, but definitely not cheap!

Actually you won't get a type rating from Bell, because a) Bell doesn't offer type ratings in the 206, it's not a TRTO and (b) as I already said there are no type ratings in the US in aircraft under 12500 pounds.
However what you will get from Bell is a certificate stating that you attended their course, which may or may not help out with insurance or future employment. Upon return to Europe or wherever you will then have to get a type rating from a qualified examiner.
