Hi All,

 

Can anyone recommend someone that's got an MD500 available at a reasonable cost? Or,

If there are any ferry flights someone has that would allow me to sit in and log some time. I'd pay your fuel costs, let's work something out.

I'm in the southeast, CPL-H, and can be where you need me pretty quickly.

 

Please PM, or reply in the thread.

 

Thanks a lot!

I'm headed up to Lancaster Heli next week. Hopefully the weather will be good. The rates on the website are out of date though. We'll see how it goes but I'd still like to have time.

 

There's plenty of them to be had. Believe me, if I could afford a 500 I'd have one. :D :D :D

Finished with Lancaster for now. It's good training, worth the money IMO.

Still looking for more time. If someone wants to share ferry costs or something let me know. Please reply here or PM.

I'd like some clarification on these hourly rates I'm seeing here. "SWISSFAACFI" said that Lancaster Helicopters charges $450/hr dual and $425/hr solo. I mentioned those rates to a guy with Northwest Helicopters here in Olympia, Washington today. He said Northwest Helicopters charges $1650 per hour, and that's normal. Anyone care to weigh in here? :)

A “normal” approach and a “normal” take-off is the only thing I've found to be “normal” in this business……

 

At $1600, they’re not doing any government contract work as the MD500 hourly rate tops out at approximately $935….
