PapaVictor Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Are there any flightschools/instructors in Canada using the Hiller 12, I'm a (FAA) Hiller pilot (CPL/CFI) and would like to convert my licence to a Canadian. Quote
Ryan Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 Never heard of a school that uses them here, but that's just me. Why not do it in a R22 or 300? :up: Quote
PapaVictor Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Posted April 26, 2006 I know plenty of schools using R-22, Schweizer or Bell 47. I was just wondering if there where any Hiller 12 around. Since I have a lot of time on the Hiller it's just easier, and I love the machine. But I would second for the Bell-47. I just like high inertia rotor systems. Never flew the R-22 and probably never will. Quote
1huvrluvr Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 I think there may be one in the Fraser Valley used for spraying but that was a few years back that I had seen it. Dont know if its still there or who had it for sure if I had to guess id say Tundra or One of the spray ops. out of Chilliwack. But why wouldn't you just go an get an r-22 rating with your conversion this way giving you more employmets oportunities here if thats what you wanted. If you gotta fly for your conversion why not "piggyback" another or any other possible endorsements at the same time? The 22 is used in the feild as well as for training and the transition to r-44 might be easier after too being another widely used machine. Or bite the bullet and do it on a 206? Quote
PapaVictor Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Posted April 26, 2006 I'm definitely not looking for R-22 employment. Quote
TopFuel Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 There is a Hiller flying out of Chilliwack. I have seen it in the hangar just east of the pumps. Dont know the name of the group off the top of my head. Quote
