There are two schools that I know of that have turbine helicopters and they use them for training and other various things. One is Marpat Avation (the advertisment in the upper right hand corner, neon green, can't miss it) and Van Nevel. Van Nevel- http://www.fh1100.com/flightschool.htmldiscussion- http://helicopterforum.verticalreference.com/helicopterfor...1&hl=FH1100Marpat- http://www.marpataviation.com/discussion- http://helicopterforum.verticalreference.com/helicopterfor...8&hl=FH1100 As far as traffic control I really don't know what you mean by that. If it's reporting what is happening on the road and relaying that to a radio station they more than likely use fixed-wing for that (cheaper). To give you an idea of what real world training costs, a slingline package (10 hrs of helicopter rental and 10 hrs of dual instruction) for an R-22 (out in Oregon mind you) is going to cost you 2,470 big ones, but this is a package and each school is run differently so you probably won't see package deals, it's just an example. If you seek further comparison of these two schools use the search feature (type in the helicopter or name of the school in the search feature and you should get some more topics) Hope that helped. -rookie Edited November 18, 2006 by rookie101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
