Helicopter flying costs are about four times those of flying airplanes, especially when learning. However, the prospective student needs to consider other factors too. Helicopter training is expensive, but not as Much as it Appears.
Many people who want to learn to fly helicopters are put off by the cost. Rotary flying is certainly expensive. But there are ways of saving money when undertaking helicopter training. One can get more for one's money with helicopters.With planes, a lot of time is wasted taxiing and waiting on the ground for other aircraft. But this is not so with helicopters. As soon as a rotary aircraft lifts into the hover it is flying – and the student is learning something. So, no training time is wasted during helicopter training.
It is also possible to conduct helicopter training during weather conditions which would have airplanes grounded, since in poor visibility or low cloud, helicopter students can practise hovering or other low level maneuvers.
There are a few things to think over before beginning a journey towards flying a helicopter:
1. There are no shortcuts.
2. It's not at all glamorous.
3. This industry has very small circles... one mistake, if not fatal...it's over.
Sounds a bit complicated? On the flip side, this is one of the most exciting career anyone can make of their passion.
