45 Hours in a Helicopter



This is a picture of a bell 47 that I trained in. It has a useful load of 550 lbs with full fuel, large, wide main blades, and one heck of a helicopter. They knew how to build em' back then.

I recommend all pilots learn how to fly a helicopter. It's a great endorsement to get for all fixed wing pilots. You really learn how to use the pedals with a helicopter, it can help fixed wing pilots learn how to properly use those pedals.

Can you fly cross country without using the yoke?
