You will be accompanied by our chief pilot and all expenses (incl. hotels, food. except flight ticket) will be paid by us. Approx. flight time is 22-25 hours, depending on weather. This time will count towards TT and PIC time, if you're working towards a commercial rating, etc, or just need 206L time to meet insurance requirements. We charge a flat fee of $8,000. We will meet you in Medford, OR (KMFR), where the flight will originate from.

Good morning all, I would like your advice on an issue, especially from the graybeards on the board like Goldy, Mike, Dennis, Francis, et al... The consensus I have seen over the past few years has been consistent and pretty emphatic regarding advanced training, namely: "don't pay for advanced training out of your own pocket, because when you get hired your employer will train you anyway." But what about this scenario: I'm an inexperienced helicopter pilot--approximately 170 hours (50 in R44) and zero turbine time so far, of course. I just completed my commercial rating and am now working on CFI. I have an opportunity in front of me to ferry a Bell 206 LongRanger to Alaska. It would be about 20 hours of flight time, including international border procedures and everything else incidental to a long cross country--in short, a terrific training experience, I think. But I would have to pay my own way, at a reduced rate. Rather than $750/hour for the B206, my share would be paying $250/hour. What do you think? Would you do it, for the chance for the turbine transition training as well as the cross country experience?
