my plane for $2.00 for an hour ok by.

Don't bother taking a parachute!

Answer 3

I have no particular experience, but I seem to remember that there may be vision (like color blindness) or other limitations.  Realize that schools make money by selling you lessons, so take their info with a grain of salt.  

A large number of helicopter pilots seem to work in the Oil and News industries.  I bet your local news/traffic helicopter pilot could answer your questions, especially if he thinks you are a fan of his traffic reports ;-)  

Good luck, I hope you make it, I hear it is a blast flying.

Know your bird and it's limitations.

Answer 6

Well after 25 years of flying Helicopters Commercially all I can say is, your doing it for fun not the money or prestige.

If you want money and prestige, fly for the airlines. If you want satisfaction and challenge fly Helicopters.
