Helicopter training in USA
Cheerz guys!
I'm new to this forum, so I'm not sure if this is the right place to be starting this thread. Sorry if doing wrong. The point is I'm from Brazil, considering taking training on helicopters in the US, then would appreciate some tips.
First, I already hold an FAA airplane CPL, I'm also working for an airline in Brazil which made me build over 1000 hours on fixed-wing type. Do I have then any hour credit for the helicopter license? My first plan is to move to the US during my vacation, on june, so I plan on first getting only PPHL due to shortage of time (30 days). Does anybody find it possible?
Second, I would love to stay in California due to the cool weather and awesome beaches around. I would appreciate tips about best helicopter flight schools by there, cheapest, preferably on the coast.
Thanks in advance and happy new year y'all!
