44 spray companies

[cryesis]

Does anyone have a list of spray companies using 44s?

No. But they are everywhere. Start by what state you want

Preferably northeast, Maybe PA or NJ......anywhere is the US is good though. Mainly anywhere that would potentially hire a pilot under 1000hr

Are you sure you want to limit yourself to R44 Ag spraying? These are pretty slim requirements. You could have better luck if you're willing to look at companies that do powerline/pipeline patrols or a flight school that does a bit of sightseeing in the R44s. Are you dead-set on only Ag work?

 

For example, I did a quick check for R44 utility companies and found Chesapeake Bay Helicopters http://www.cbhelos.com/careers/ . They're currently hiring.

They use R44s but don't do Ag, but they do powerline/pipeline and external load operations and they're located in Virginia.

There is never a magic list.

 

 

There are about 1,300 companies in the United states that do 137 work. 80% are fixed wing operators. Out of the 20% that run helicopters, the majority of them run turbines.

 

The 44 isn't exactly an ideal or safe platform for 137 work.
