H135 pilot training

[Oluwaferanmi]

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.

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.

I have a job opportunity, but to get the job I need to know how to fly the H135

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

You should have asked...do you have unlimited amounts of cash...money will buy you anything. 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!

Not sure about the cost for a 135 checkout but the 139 is over $100 grand!!!

Commercial license these days on helicopters is around $100 grand....this is what they want in North Bay I am told!!!

I got a good laugh when I heard $30 grand...the $100 g for the commercial in North Bay was all on turbine...
