Experience in a turbine aircraft, known as “turbine time”, will one day become a major hurdle during your transition from flight instruction into the world of other commercial helicopter operations. Some schools offer training in turbine aircraft as an add-on to their program, at the MySky Academy “turbine time” is part of the program. During training most full time students can achieve all of their helicopter ratings in about 175 hours of flight time.
Did you know that the total helicopter time required to be a Flight Instructor in the most popular training aircraft in the world, the Robinson helicopter, is 200 hours? Many schools offer the additional time needed at an extra expense above their program price. At the MySky Academy 200 hours is included in the program price.
