Used to fly both a R44 and 206, but haven't flown helicopters in a little over 10 years. I want to get current and get some time in an EC120. Also maybe complete commercial and instrument (already have enough hours to meet the experience requirements). Can anyone recommend a place to get some dual in an EC120? I'm located in the midwest, but will go anywhere with pleasant weather.

 

Thanks!

Yes, that's what he means. If you can go anywhere..... and doing it in an EC120 isn't cost prohibitive, just go straight to the tap. Is say always start with a factory school first. Then work your way backwards. Factory school carries much more weight than getting some dual at XYZ Flight School.

If you aren't career oriented and don't plan on buying one, skip the factory school. It's usually insanely expensive. If you are career oriented, I would forget about the whole thing and get back in the Robinson. Nobody flies the EC120. It would be like getting training in an Enstrom 480. Practically useless.

The 480 is so easy to fly you don't need no training or factory school!

BTW- If you really want to fly an EC 120 around, Google Robert Dimel and contact him.
