Enrolling Oneself In An Advanced Helicopter Training

By Brenda Thomas


There are lots of interesting kind of jobs or hobbies that people practically enjoy doing. You could be among those whose interest is into walking or running on lands, or be among those who like to explore the sea more, or someone that finds flying more interesting to do. Among all that are mentioned above, flying is something which requires more intensive training.

Focusing on helicopters as one means of flying, one must be a pilot or was trained in order to drive them. This is the reason why advanced helicopter training is necessary for those who have the interest. This is the last stage of flight school for Marine Corps and Navy 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.

Usually, students take sixty hours in practice. They should learn the rules and policies, if they are new pilots. They must also learn how to navigate, understand the airspace, talk in the radio, read chars, and fly a helicopter.

Upon choosing an institute for this, you should remember certain factors that you need to consider. Search for a particular institute that offers at least 2 instructors and helicopters. Through this, you will avoid certain problems in terms of unavailability of either of the two in case you only have one each, at least you will have your back ups and you can save time and effort.

The location of the field must also be considered before deciding to enroll in a school. Get to know the reputation of the school first by asking a lot people, or researching through internet and blogs with feedback from people. Facilities that the school operate should also be part of those factors.

In getting a license, it is not a requirement to get a license from the previous experience you have had in aviation. Prerequisites are certainly not a requirement for this. In terms of age, you must be at least fourteen years of age to start on training, and eighteen years old before you could 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 expensive, slow, and cannot carry much just like the airplane, but there are many perks in it, like the chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery of an area or place in likeable days, its ability to fly very low or slow, and its ability to land anywhere. They can undoubtedly give people fun, that is why if you really want to learn it, you should know how to find the best school, location, instructor, and facilities that can give you the best experience of learning.
