Question

Can someone help me get into helicopter flight school???

Answer 1

I agree with the first poster, all it takes is large amounts of money.  Everything else is lots and lots of study and practice.  Here is a title of a book to check out at your local library.

Chickenhawk by Robert Mason.  Viet Nam Huey pilot with the 1st Cavalry Division.  This is a really great book to read.  The first part of the book covers his rotary wing training.  That would be of interest to you on what it takes to become a Helo Pilot.

Good Luck

Answer 2

I'm a vet, but now I'm in University in North Dakota, UND. There’s a lot of ROTC students in a helicopter commercial program. maybe this is something you would be interested in.

Answer 3

Only thing required to get "in" is $$$

Check at your local airport to see if there is a helicopter flight school. Try a forum or helicopter pilots such as
