Could you please update the Terms FAQ (which I see is from another website so perhaps create a seperate one for this site).

 

I'm interested in pursuing a career as a helo pilot and have a specific goal in mind (EMS pilot with my wife riding in back taking care of the patient).

 

During my research I come across terms and acronyms that are not in the terminology FAQ

 

GOM (I think this is Gulf of Mexico)

PIC (I have not figured out this acronym)

ISTWBO (I'm sure there will be others)

You are right about GOM, PIC is pilot in command. Most employers are looking for 1000 hr PIC time to hire you on for a big turbine helicopter. Initial time spent training, before you get your private licence is logged as dual time, not PIC time.
