Introductory Flights

So you think you want to fly helicopters,
huh?
Well the first thing we need to know is what
level of training is right for you.
The
Private Pilot License:
A private pilot license will give you the
privilege of being able to fly with passengers for recreational
purposes. A private pilot can essentially go anywhere a
commercial pilot can go; the only difference is that a private
pilot can't make money off his/her flight.
If you simply want to fly for recreational
purposes, taking cross country flights with friends or family,
this is the rating that would suit you the best. Not sure if
a commercial rating is more suitable, all the hours from the
private rating goes towards the 150hrs for the commercial
rating.
In order to become a private pilot, one must
be at least 17 years old, read, speak, and understand English, and
must hold a 3rd class
medical. Although it is not required, we recommend obtaining
a 3rd class medical prior to
starting training to ensure that there will not be any
complications later on.
A private license is an essential building
block if one wants to make flying a career.

The
Commercial Pilot License:
Having a commercial license will allow you to
earn money while flying. With the ever increasing amount of
jobs that helicopters are being used for, the demand for qualified
helicopter pilots is growing. The commercial license takes
advantage of the hours obtained from the private license and can
be used towards reaching the 150hrs of flight time.
Although there are an infinite number of ways
helicopters can earn money, here are few types of jobs a
commercial pilot can expect to have the opportunity to perform;
Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Electronic News Gathering (ENG),
Tour Pilots, Police, Flight Instruction, Offshore (oil rig),
Pipeline Patrol, Search and Rescue, Fire Fighting, and many more
jobs just waiting.

The CFI Rating:
The CFI Rating allows you to instruct others
in helicopter flight. This is a necessity in the helicopter career
field as the ever increasing number of helicopter students
increases to meet the demand for pilots in the industry. This also
gives you more options when looking for jobs to build time until
you can land that dream job every helicopter pilot
wants.
