Building Helicopter Time

[eyelevelflyer]

Any ideas? I have 475TT. I have a Commercial rating with Airplane Single and Mutiengine Land, Rotorcraft-Helicopter, Instrument Airplane and Helicopter. Willing to go anywhere to build time. Thanks for the help.

Best bet is to get your CFI, or get at least 500 hours turbine, otherwise your hardpressed to find something you can live off of. Your Instrument will help a lot too!!! Keep an eye out on justhelicopters.com. Any Robby time? There's a guy in Seattle that's alway looking, he'll even help you get your CFI, don't expect to live off of the wages, though.

I have 90 hours in a R22, still way short of the 200 to meet the SFAR for a CFI job. Let me know the contact info for the Seattle area. Thanks for the reply.

OK, here's my recommendation.

OK then. Go to your Army recruiter and ask him/her about the Warrant Officer Flight Training enlistment option. You can build some helicopter time in the Army, and besides, there's a war on, you know.

You're welcome.

*Shudder* Glad I stuck with fixed wing.

(Although, there's a lot of regionals that would fall into the "anywhere" category.)
