Becoming a Helicopter Pilot - Learn to Fly - Helicopter Training
Becoming a Private Pilot is certainly an adventure but becoming a Helicopter Pilot is intriguing as well as exciting. In the case of this particular venture, you can make a career out of flying. Of course, it will entail professional training for flying and in particular the type of aircraft, you will be doing this in. Upon successful completion of this specialized course, you will have the option of applying for your helicopter's pilot license. Then there are several job opportunities for you to pursue if this is your choice.
It all sounds wonderful and indeed, it is, but it is not attainable without the commitment of some hard work by way of studying and applying yourself. Before you may a decision to take this route you need to really think hard about the time, resources and money its going to take to successfully accomplish what you are about to set out to do. Becoming a Helicopter Pilot is neither an easy task nor a cheap one. You can count on somewhere around $20,000 to $45,000 and a lot of time and work. Time is going to be just as important as the money because every time you short yourself on hours or miss a lesson you will still pay for it.
Before you even consider the money aspect of it, you need to determine if you fit the criteria for this profession. You must be medically fit, which means you must pass the required medical to confirm this. Then get ready to start your research into available training schools in the areas where you would be able to attend. If there is none in your area then you will have to be willing to relocate. This means you would have to determine where you are willing to go and then see what is available in those areas. If you are flexible in where you can go then naturally you have many more school options available to you.
Another very major decision you will need to make is which type of helicopter license are you going after, meaning private or commercial. The training is based on your choice and to become a Commercial Pilot you are looking at far more extensive training. Do not be fooled into thinking that the Commercial Helicopter Pilots make mega bucks, because they do not, at least not in the beginning. As time goes on and your gain more experience then your price goes up to the point where you can make very good money.
Therefore, as you can see you have many decisions ahead of you and very possibly some major lifestyle changes. It is not the time of decision you want to make hastily because it requires so much from you. Research it well, give it some serious thought then if you still feel its for you then begin to embark on a very exciting adventure.
Now you will have to build more helicopter time. Most pilots decide to get their flight instructors certificate so that you can teach other students, build your hours and get paid for it.
Well I hope that this helped you in some way

Art of the Helicopter $120 The modern helicopter is a sophisticated device which merges a surprising number of technologies together. This wide range of disciplines is one of the fascinations of the helicopter, but it is also makes a complete understanding difficult. Those searching for an understanding of the helicopter will find The Art of the Helicopter invaluable. John Watkinson approaches every subject associated with the helicopter from first principles and builds up in a clearly explained logical sequence using plain English and clear diagrams, avoiding unnecessary mathematics. Technical terms and buzzwords are defined and acronyms are spelled out. Misnomers, myths and old wives tales (for there are plenty surrounding helicopters) are disposed of. Whilst the contents of the book are expressed in straightforward language there is no oversimplification and the content is based on established physics and accepted theory. The student of helicopter technology or aerodynamics will find here a concise introduction leading naturally to more advanced textbooks on the subject. * Designed to complement the instruction of PPL(H) flying training in order to assist helicopter pilots in-training to achieve their "wings". * Clear and simple diagrams aid verbal explanations to provide an easy to understand account of how helicopters are made, how they fly and how to fly them. * The only book to cover all the aspects of helicopter design, manufacture and performance in one volume. |

Principles of Helicopter Flight $32.34 Recently updated, this comprehensive handbook explains the aerodynamics of helicopter flight, as well as how to perform typical helicopter maneuvers, unlike many aviation training manuals which are strictly how-to guides. Beginning with the basics of aerodynamics, each step of the process is fully illustrated and thoroughly explained—from the physics of helicopter flying and advanced operations to helicopter design and performance—providing helicopter pilots with a sound technical foundation on which to base their in-flight decisions. Containing discussions on the NOTAR (no tail rotor) system, strakes, and frequently misunderstood principles of airspeed and high-altitude operations, this revised edition also includes the latest procedures and regulations from the Federal Aviation Administration. |

RadioControlled Helicopter $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Radiocontrolled helicopters (also RC helicopters) are model aircraft which are distinct from RC airplanes because of the differences in construction, aerodynamics, and flight training. Several basic designs of RC helicopters exist, of which some (such as those with collective pitch, meaning blades which rotate on their longitudinal axis to vary or reverse lift) are more maneuverable than others. The more maneuverable designs are often harder to fly, but benefit from greater aerobatic capabilities. Flight controls allow pilots to control the collective and throttle (usually linked together), the cyclic controls (pitch and roll), and the tail rotor (yaw). Controlling these in unison enables the helicopter to perform most of the same manoeuvres as fullsized helicopters, such as hovering and backwards flight, and many that fullsized helicopters cannot.

Helicopter Maneuvers Manual (Spiral) $27.92 Providing a detailed look at helicopter maneuvers, the information in this guide helps to solidify concepts gained from flight training in a student pilot`s mind by incorporating the Practical Test Standards into every maneuver description. The graphical and textual explanations work in conjunction with an instructor`s lessons, allowing students to prepare before sessions and to review afterwards as well. Because helicopter pilots must rely on their memory or understanding of a particular maneuver, the Helicopter Maneuvers Manual provides readers with a crystal-clear picture of what level of performance is expected of them every step and includes insights into the common errors associated with each move. |

Helicopter Test and Evaluation $220 Although a number of texts on helicopter aerodynamics have been written, few have explained how the various theories concerning rotorborne flight underpin practical flight test and evaluation. This book combines theoretical information on aerodynamics, stability, control and performance with details of evaluation methodologies and practical guidance on the conduct of helicopter flight tests. For each topic the relevant theory is explained briefly and followed by details of the practical aspects of testing a conventional helicopter. These include: * safety considerations * planning the tests * the most efficient way to conduct individual flights Where possible typical test results are presented and discussed. The book draws on the authors' extensive experience in flight test and flight test training and will appeal not only to professionals working in the area of rotorcraft test and evaluation, but also to helicopter pilots, rotorcraft designers and manufacturers and final year undergraduates of aeronautical engineering |
