Turbine rookie

[betr_thn_Icarus]

I have recently relocated to Daytona Florida and am looking for the cheap turbine time(if it exists). I just want to buy an hour in a turbine helicopter that I can fly around. I have my private and dual time is fine and preferred. The jetrangers are a little too expensive for me at almost $1000 per hour. I see Marpat's add for $300 but they are pretty far. anything within a couple hundred miles?

 

Thanks for any help.

At my school the board says $750 hr for the MD500 but I don't know how that works. Perhaps you should look for a MD to fly?

I live in that area too, lemme know if you need any help. Van Nevel is up in Pensacola which is about a 6 hr drive from DB, but it's cheap, thinking 300-400 an hour.

Where do they have a 500 for rent? Is it a D model?

I know I'm a Long ways away; but for anyone reading this post.

I run a H-500 D model for 750 an hour including instruction; long line, mountain ops and advanced EP's

I also run a MD-520N Notar for 800 an hour including instruction.

And, just for the record; an R22 for 235 including instruction and an R44 for 395 including instruction.
