Allied Helicopter, Tulsa - any comments?

[toliver]

I'm thinking about laying down some cash for the CFI helicopter add-on at Allied Helicopter in Tulsa, OK. Has anybody ever studied there? How's the maintenance? Any scheduling conflicts? Who was your examiner? Got any gouge? Any other information about this school is appreciated.

You need to call them first. I am from Tulsa and I called them yesterday, they only teach in Bell 47's plus the lady I talked to said they are getting ready to shut down the business. The instructor they are using right now is from Arkansas, so he has like a two hour drive to get there before he does any instruction. There is a guy at Riverside who has I think an R22 or a 44 who also instructs, I'd check him out. Good luck.

I too am from the tulsa area and looking to learn to fly...I attended the silver state seminar they had in Tulsa , had my application filled out and ready to go , that night I found this web site and the post about the law suite they have against them and proceeded to file 13 my app. I am starting from zero hours so any info about the guy at riverside or any schools in the area would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Wow. I screwed this up big time.

What I wanted to say was ... I got my commercial at Allied years ago (it was a add on) I would love to know what's up now. I also atended the seminar for SSH, almost signed but did not, found the forums also.

Well, if any of you guys want to contact me, it would be good to keep in touch to see what is up for training here.

I called Allied last wedensday and as posted earlier they are going out of business in a few months. I did speak with their instructor who is from Arkansas and plan to meet with him this saturday for more information. He did give me the name and number of an instructor at Jones Riverside who has a R22 who also instructs havent talked personaly to him but plan to in the next few days. I took it they might be joining efforts and doing more training in the area if the workload is sufficient, dont know for sure that just how i took it. Here are the instructors and where they are located......Mat Natholmes 1-479-531-3980 Allied Helicopters.....Patrick Hynes 1-918-852-3158 Jones Riverside w/R22

Anybody looking for training in the Tulsa area should consider Patrick Hynes. His number is:918-852-3158. R22 or R44 plus maintenance.

I flew at Allied in one of their 47s. I had been flying in SoCal in R22s so it was a big change. The helicopter and instruction were both very good. It was nice to fly something different. I flew with Nat Holmes. I thought it was Matt, but its Nat. I also met Patrick who flys the R22 out at Riverside. I liked the fact that Allied was so close but given the fact that they are closing up I think I need to move on. I looked into Silver State like all the rest of you above and was not pleased. For one, I dont want to spend 60 thousand and get all my ratings, all I want to do is finish my private pilot. Silver State doesnt allow that, which I think is stupid. I think Patrick might be getting a lot of calls from people unhappy with the SSH program.

J- Let me know if you hear anything about the school selling off their Bell 47's...I'm always snooping for a deal on one.
