Helicopter training
Hello,
I couldn't find the answer on this forum, so I'd decided to ask- sorry if it appears again, but I need some help. I am looking for a good Helicopter School, which will train me from 0 to CPL(h) with IR/ME. What can you recommend me? I prefer USA, because of prices- do you thing it is a good idea? I will appreciate any kind of help with this topic, Best regards, Tom. |

There are threads on most countries if you follow the links in So you want to be a helicopter pilot. Find the right thread and start asking questions there :ok: |
Try Advanced Heli-Flight Ltd. In Grande Prairie, AB Canada.

Looking for low dollar training is about as good an investment as beach front property at low tide.....:p

low dollar as low dollar.
Canadian rates are about double what US rates are for training. The way Canadian dollar is strong, fuel costs high, labour rates higher than US nominally, it's not really 'heli training destination' for people who can compare and 'shop around'. I'm not talking about being suspicious of quality etc. I'd say that some US schools could be bit too informal, junior (C)FIs, but that's almost everywhere in US, due to job market and instructors don't stick around unless they're the owners or do it as side job. So are usual Aussie rates. At least part of that extra cost is needed for semi-decent salaries unlike usually US and NZ. The variation is usually within 50 bucks/hr all in for same/comparable a/c in US. It does add up if it's 20 bucks difference over 150-200hrs. Anyway, I digress. |
