I can also be Falko's co-pilot to help make sure your aircraft gets there safe and on time for about $350 a day plus per diem. Pretty good deal for the both of us Tom, you should snap that up.

Is 1300hrs in R22's enough for your insurance tom?

Forget it Falko, unless you also have 100 hrs with floats. It is just a total different helicopter and it takes a long time to learn to deal with floats <_<

I absolutly admire these guys, there are able to teach you in ONLY 100 hrs to fly it, whaoo. :) It took me 5 hrs incl 135 checkride to fly a 206, but R22 with floats, I could never handle it even after 100 hrs of training :(

Aw, come on man, for $150/hr, you get the privlige of flying an R-22!

 

Personally, I hope to never have to get into one of those tiny things again.

 

I met this guy at HAI a couple of years ago. Once he figured out that I was a professional pilot and not a potential source of student funding he literally turned his back on me mid-conversation and turned to some younger pilots to whom he could pimp his scam.

 

I have flown a lot of boat races, fishing tournaments, and poker runs; ther're a blast. But I got paid to do it...not the other way around.

 

...just my two cents.

Still laughing at this one!! :) I just transioned into a 206 and a 500. About 5 hours between the 2 of them and I was good to go. Out working in it a couple of days later.

 

Tom you may want to find a better insurance company who will let guys fly earlier than the 100 hours, not that Pathfinder insurance....oh wait.....that wouldn't make you as much money now would it!!!;)
