The first job helicopter pilots get is typically as a flight instructor at a training school. This allows you to get paid for instructing while building your flight hours to move on to the next step in your career. On this course you will learn to instruct and fly the helicopter at a higher level of accuracy compared to a commercial helicopter pilot. once you’ve gotten enough flight time as an instructor, you’ll typically move on to a career in tour operations and continuing to build toward a more demanding career. Over 95% of flight schools train their students on the Robinson R22 helicopter. You must have at least 50 hours in an R22 (200 hours total time in helicopters) to instruct in this helicopter, due to the SFAR 73 regulation, and get hired at any of these schools using the R22 for training.
