TXSoccerRef, How is David doing? I have not flown or talked to him in several years. I use to work with one of his cousins and she introduced us. -

Houston Flight Schools
mechanic replied to zero610's topic in Helicopter Flight Training - School Reviews
Helicopter Services got out of the flight training market. I don't know it Anythings Possible Aviation is still doing it or not, over at Weiser Field. -
Looks like Precision in OR, Midwest Helicopter Academy in IL and Texas Rotorwing Academy in Beaumont TX are the first to operate the Cabri G2 here in the states... Enstrom is developing the TH180 and Robinson has stripped out a Raven I for training dubbed the Cadet, a 2 seat 44 airframe.. If the economy IE oil industry ever picks up might get interesting... Wished I had taken bets on that bird coming across the pond, I just had a feeling about this bird. Price per hour is between that of a 300c and R44. http://www.robinsonheli.com/media/pressrelease/robinson_introduces_r44_cadet.pdf

Sorry for you loss Sarah. I have been off VR for awhile due to lots of family issues. I got to hang out with Andrew at Heli Expo 10' in Houston for a short while. I really hate to hear this. Regards, Brad

Way to go AD... best of luck.. -
Anyone looking to start training, I have listed a few training supplies in the Classifieds here on VR. I am getting out of the helicopter world for now. Good luck everyone! It has been a long fun ride, since 97' for me.. Just could not get "Life" outta the way.

GI Bill for Part 61 School
mechanic replied to lougerig71's topic in Helicopter Flight Training - School Reviews
silvrado17, Good info. I am glad the VA Ed site has some clear info on it now. A few years back it was horrible....Very hard to find info on flight training and seemed to be a lot of different interpretations of it. -
GI Bill for Part 61 School
mechanic replied to lougerig71's topic in Helicopter Flight Training - School Reviews
I believe Rogue is correct. The last I time reviewed all the VA Chap 30 GI Bill reg's, been awhile back though, only part 141 schools with a "APPROVED" program. Approved program means that the VA has reviewed each of the schools program/programs offered to Vets and they "VA" has signed off on each program and to include to the minimum amount of flight and ground school hours in each course. A part 141 syllabus by itself does not qualify for VA approval. The VA can add more to it if they like to meet "THEIR" requirements, i.e.. MUST HAVE A PRIVATE LICENSE" prior to enrolling in a Commercial -
