I have to give you a tumbs up for trying, well done.

There is more than passport Helico on the East side of Canada, I am just saying.

Good luck to you and I hope you will find your dream job.

As a professional heli pilot, 39 years in the industry, I would say all the answers here were all correct.

I am going toward 16,000 hrs on helicopters and sometimes, I ask myself how I have been able to survive the last landing. lol
But I think with luck it could be done if the pax keeps his cool.

When I wrote my post, the intention was to condemned, bring to light a practice that I don't agree and never agreed with, NOT to talk about my personal life. I have been in the industry for 38 years now, a lot of people know me and I can go back to any companies I have worked for before, at least th...

Funny how things are, when I was looking for work at the end of the summer, (high time pilot) I sent resumes out (never got an answer back) and called a couple of companies that I thought might be in need for experience pilots, no luck there for me. About a week after talking to one of the company I...

This guy did it in single seat homemade helicopter.

Just an update on the situation.

Unfortunately the vast majority of helicopters that I ride around on have the passenger side controls removed so if the pilot croaks so does everyone else on board. That's right. Also there was an accident in South America (Canadian Aircraft though) were the pilot died at the control during a slow ...

Nah it gets in the way of checking your i-phone......

That was funny. Loved it.

Best thing to do is go and talk to a flight school for the legal side of it, meaning returning after 10 years. I am assuming your medical is expired, you will need a class 1 for your commercial heli pilot, also after more than 5 years without flying you will have to rewrite your exams and do a fligh...

Ive seen it at ZVL, it can be controlled unmanned with a playstation control, pretty freakin cool I would be quite surprised if that aircraft was set up for remote control operation. ZVL is the main office for that Company. Use to work for them. The "bladerons" is what gives your pitch angle on the...

Ok got it now, thanks

I'm being overwhelmed by theory. I'll see what I can dig up for you. The 206 at least, has 5 gezuz nuts. One on the rotor and 4 holding the tailboom on. The 206 is full of after engineering ideas. Hmmm maybe we should add this to prevent this... And spike knock , WTF? is it bad or is it a byproduct...

If one doesn't naturally fit this personality type, what are the best ways to start transforming one's thinking so it aligns well with the attitudes and skills that will make one a superb pilot? I don't want to change who I am... But when I sign up for my PPL, I don't want to just squeak by. I want...

Gros merci a vous "les gens de l'air" pour le travail d'hercule que vous avez accomplie durant ces années.

Allows it here too Gilles. The difference overthere is that the Goverment pays part of the contruction of the swimming pool with the "condition of" we will use the water in case of fire, if needed. They do replenish the pool once it's over. As far as picking up/sucking up water out of swimming pool...

Funny I have 13,000 hrs on one engine and I never received "credit" for it.

They did their jobs properly and made it back, good work
