Question

I've always wanted to learn how to fly a helicpter,just to see what its like and also to say that I've tried it, but its not like I can call BSM or go on a track day so I was just wondering how you get started.

I live in/around York, North Yorkshire so I just wondered if anyone had any advice.

Take the UK PPL  and times it by about 4 for price, practice and expense.

Join the army.

Answer 3

first you need about 10k to get a license!! and then 12 hrs per year flying to keep it!!

Most airports have flying schools, look up your local airfield. £200 for a trial lesson!!

its a brilliant thing to do!!

Answer 4

First off you may want to get a pilots license. Then some aero dynamic training.

Rotary is not Fixed wing, but basic laws of lift and drag apply.
