Oluwaferanmi Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Good day. I'm planning to become an helicopter pilot and I want to learn how to fly the H135/EC135 airbus helicopter. How do I go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM119 Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Depends on a lot of things. What your intentions are for flying will dictate that. First thing first, get your license at a flight school. Do you have an employer? Do you own the aircraft? Will need a bit more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just looking Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 I don't mean to deflate you. However the chances of flying a 135 for anyone without a minimum of 1,000 flight hours on helicopter is probably an impossible dream. If you obtain your commercial licence you could probably find a company to give you an endorsement that will probably cost in excess of $30,000.00 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line in this business is how do you make a million dollars...start with 10 million. Reminds me of an apprentice who asked me why our company wasn't flying S76 in the bush...I will leave that answer up to you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
