Enrolling Oneself In An Advanced Helicopter Training

By Brenda Thomas


There are a lot of jobs and hobbies that people enjoy all throughout. You can be one among those people who enjoy swimming or diving and enjoy the ocean, or you can be someone who love to run and walk around to see the nature and the land, or you can be one of the people who find enjoyment in flying. Among the above mentioned, flying requires more intensive kind of training.

In terms of flying, like in helicopters, you must be trained or a pilot for you to be able to drive on it. That is why many people enroll themselves in some basic up to advanced helicopter training. The advanced is the last phase of flight school for Navy and Marine Corps helicopter pilots.

This training generally takes about six months and is divided into ten phases. In these phases, pilots will be taught about the ground school, tactics, familiarization, radio instruments, formation, visual or instrument navigation, basic instruments, low level navigation, night familiarization and trans fams. Local course rules, common instrument scans, emergency procedures, section formation maneuvers and etc. Are learned in these phases.

In practice, students will take at about sixty hours. New Pilots should understand all the regulations and rules, the airspace, how to talk on radio, read and read chars. They must pick up how to navigate and fly a helicopter as well.

In choosing a flight institute and instructor, there are certain factors to remember. Find an institute with at least two helicopters and two instructors. By this, the risk on not being able to fly whenever circumstances occur like the helicopter is being scheduled to another student, or the instructor is not available would not be high since you have some back ups.

The location must also taken into consideration in the decision making which school you would like to enroll. Know the standing of the school in terms of its reputation by a thorough research on the internet or in personal. Evaluate the facilities that they offer as well.

You do not need to have any other experience in aviation to get a license. It does not require any prerequisites. In age, you should at least 14 years old for you to start the training, and eighteen years of age to get a commercial license.

For those who take full time in their training, they could take their license in four months. But mostly, commercial students complete their training in around six months. For those who apply on part time, it takes depending on how often you do it or how often you go to school.

Helicopters are slow, expensive and cannot even carry that much unlike airplane, but there are a lot of perks in it such as, the ability to land anywhere, to fly very slow or low, and the chance of enjoying the scenery of a place or area in nice days. They are undeniably challenging and fun, all you have to do is to learn, and find the best location, school, instructors, and facilities that could provide you with the best practice experience.
