How to Become a Helicopter Pilot

[@MrAppltec]

I went and walked around the school a couple days ago. It was an amazing campus! I hope to do the master’s program after I graduate CWU next year!

I flew Army helicopters for 21 years, and civilian HEMS totaling 40 years, and I wish I’d done both. 😂😂

My father flys ATAK T129 helicopter. We don't see him very often. He is always on a mission. Keep this in mind.

Turkish or Filipino?

[@joelrausch4824]

Helicopter jobs that allow you to be home most nights AND work all year round are the exception. Insurance and maintenance are very expensive and their is continual pressure to generate revenue to cover these costs. These pressures are on the pilot (remember Kobe Bryant?) It is not an idyllic life for the average helicopter pilot. There are dream jobs out there however for the fortunate few. There are high risk hard nose flying tasks that pay well for those who are not faint of heart ,that require exceptional skills like logging and power line maintenance. I lost over a dozen pilot friends over my 35 year career.When I finally quit flying , it was a tremendous weight off my shoulders. I no longer cared how bad the weather got or if the owner of the company was buying bogus parts for the aircraft or doctoring maintenance records. I never realized how much it sucked until I quit doing it. I was fortunate. I worked year round and was home almost every night. It was good to me in that respect but I am so glad its over. I made it. I beat the house . The only way a helicopter may kill me now is by falling out of the sky on top of me....and believe me...when I hear one overhead I'm looking up!

Let us know if you would like any information! We love to help you make your dream a reality!

[@Younotus455]

Ive started my journey. My state has its own regulations outside of the FAA. So this is also a bump in the road. You can get all the clearence you want from the FAA but your state is who gives you the license to fly and regulates who is in there air space. I am also doing this for personal fight. Rather than commercial for work. So there are some differences but you still have to learn the skills you may never use just flying around.

[@JamieLee-lr7wq]

That doesn’t make sense. The FAA governs the airspace and the issuance of pilot certificates. Your state has nothing to do with that.

Around 95% of our students get jobs after graduation. Chances a really good if you're motivated you'll be able to find a job. Typically our students' first jobs are giving tours, or becoming instructors. Being an instructor is an ideal job for most, and a lot of time we're able to hire our own students.

[@marcusaurelius6538]

This might sound like a dumb question but roughly how many hours do you get if you go the military route?

[@slapt3245]

Assuming US military, Army would be your best option in terms of helicopters (maybe I'm biased lol) too many factors to say.. How long you commit to service, where you go geographically, if the unit you're assigned to is actively training or deploying. To jump straight in and start learning to fly, though, you need a 4 year degree before enlisting. You would enlist with OCS as your job selection which is officer candidate school (attend immediately after basic training instead of AIT) to eventually commission as an officer, and pray you get aviation. An aviation degree/background is beneficial, and you do get to choose a preference. Usually commissioned officers get less flight hours than a warrant officer, though, which is the next route you could take. (a generalization, varies by unit/needs of the army/etc.) (You can become a warrant officer as a private, but you need letters of recommendations from other pilots etc. which isn't likely). Option 2: Enlist as a 15 series, learn your choice of aircraft inside and out, be a kickass mechanic and make some pilot friends that can 'mentor' you along in building your flight packet. Warrant officers coming from aviation mechanic backgrounds have a much more in-depth understanding of the aircraft and fly more often than regular officers. They don't have a unit to command and hundreds of soldiers beneath them, or a boss above them really lol. You show up, fly the bird, disappear. I'm sure there is a set number of flight hours you are required to get while in both flight school and the advanced flight training, not sure what that number is though. With all this said, it's also the military... so it's not just going to flight school. You DO have to be in very good physical condition, far above normal army standards, attend selection schools where your ability is put to test against the guy next to you, attend survival schools, and know how to fight an enemy (think big picture, war, etc.) as well as be a proficient pilot. And, being the military, they value all the training they are giving you.. becoming an officer/warrant officer usually always means longer contracts. like 10 year minimum commitments AFTER you've passed officer selection/warrant officer school, get selected to attend flight school, and graduate flight school. (Then to go on with further more technical training on the specific aircraft you are assigned. Choice of aircraft depends on school performance 1st, soldier's preference 2nd) Also this is my point of view and a very generalized explanation. Experiences may vary lol. I am an army veteran, former helicopter mechanic and I watched soooo many of my buddies I wrenched with turn into pilots. The aircraft we worked on together, they now fly. I've thought about taking that route many times and regret not doing it, hence why I'm watching this video hahaha. They all have awesome careers in the Army doing exactly what they love. Hope this helps you or anyone else that may stumble upon this.

How do you become a sheriff helicopter pilot, what do you need?

On top of a commercial pilot certificate issued by the FAA and a valid medical certificate, organizations typically prefer you to have your instrument and CFI ratings. We recommend researching current job postings for your goal job and figure out what specifically you need to work towards.

How much is the program out of pocket if I’m army national guard? Any benefits towards the flying portion?

I'm guessing with the GI bill it's 100% out of pocket and 100% reimbursement if you pass.

[@SUUAviation]

​@@somewhatinformed1208 No, there's no reimbursement. It's a direct tuition/flight fee payment. @Hansen Fuentes If you're a veteran who qualifies for the GI Bill, it can pay up to all your flight fees and tuition. It can even cover some housing costs through BAH. You would need to pay for class supplies and that's it.

Are there sponsors for poeple who want this as a career, but we're born into a lower class family?

[@SUUAviation]

Hey Nicholis, while we do not offer sponsorships we do have scholarships! Here’s our webpage with some financial aid resources. You’ll be able to find information on loans, scholarships, and be able to talk to our financial aid coordinator: www.suu.edu/aviation/finaid/

[@nicholiswood4235]

@@SUUAviation thank you! I'll look into it!

[@Clearly69]

Would love to fly heli's for a living but to spend that kind of money & no guarantee of a job would be plume stupid.

[@christopherfreeman3357]

Do you REALLY need a degree to be a commercial rotorcraft pilot?

[@SUUAviation]

Hey Christopher, Degrees make pilots more marketable. We offer both Associates and Bachelor’s degrees for our flight program. For more information here our links to our website: Associate: www.suu.edu/aviation/aas.html Bachelor’s: www.suu.edu/aviation/bachelors.html

So??? What happened to everyone and the cool videos? CoVid plandimic?

[@christoohunders5316]

So many handsome men on the planet nowadays !

[@brianwilliams447]

No offense, but you left out a LOT of stuff!

[@mikehawkins9678]

That was all common knowledge, you said you were going to talk about how to obtain funding. I went to flight school in the 80s and they live through their teeth all the way through flight school. I did not find out that I needed Another thousand hours to get my instrumentation license and there’s absolutely nothing you can do with a private pilots license

[@JamieLee-lr7wq]

Who told you it took 1000 hrs to get an instrument rating? I literally got instrument rated with 140 hrs. Look in a FAR about aeronautical experience requirements regarding instrument ratings and you’ll quickly find that you are inaccurate. That’s on you though pal, you should have read up on the regs.
