Chi-town Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Looking at the list of courses offered at Heli-Expo and was wondering if the Helicopter Operator's Management Course was worth the cash and effort. I run a flight school with plans on expanding operations. Did anyone take this course last year? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delorean Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Can't commment on that, but the powerline avoidance course was excellent. Worth every penny.......probably take it again in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1128 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I have been told by former attendee's that the mountain flying course is also excellent. And it is Helicopter specific rather than F/W specific. The CFI renewal courses at Heliexpo are a must for helicopter instructors. Plus the maintenance courses are top notch. Planning on the Mountain course this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLorax Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 how much cash are we talking? are these courses available to all pilots (student or otherwise?)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delorean Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Yeah, they're open to everyone and they're freakin' expensive.......anywhere from $300-$1000+ depending on the duration. Add an extra ~$100 if you're not a HAI member. Like everything else attached to Heli-Expo, HAI overcharges because they know 80-90% of the attendance is expense accounting it to their employer. If you book your hotel through HAI, it will be about 25% higher than the rate you'll get from Expedia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
