Okanagan Mountain Helicopters

Post by MachMan »

Has anyone had any flight training with OK heli based out of Kelowna? They have a pretty attractive Commercial program with potential for turbine endorsement and other training. Just wondering what they might be like. I’ll definitely check them out in person, but it helps to have an idea before hand.

Posted this originally in general, but made more sense to post it here.

I don't have any specific knowledge of them but...because you mentioned a turbine endorsement I will say that many (?most?/?all outside of the training environment?) believe that a turbine endorsement with a fresh 100 hour CPL-H has little value and that when one is needed, your employer will pay for it.

NEVER forget that the primary purpose of a flight school is to sell flight training. Making you employable is somewhere on the list but probably not as high as you (their student) might think it should be.
