rotorcraft commercial rating or better rating advice
I am new to message boards so bare with the rookie. I am ASEL
finishing my instrument soon then trying to complete the CFI. I foresee a job promotion in my work department in the relative near future which requires ASEL-CFI plus minimum commercial helicopter rating. If I can get this rating for $30K or less the pay would be worth it in the long run. I live in lower central mid-Georgia and the closest place for training is a Vo-tech school in Eastman, GA. They require full time attendance with no weekend work. This I can not afford to do since I work full time. I can work every afternoon and all weekends and take off some time from work as I have much leave built up, but I cant afford to go total cold turkey on work and take lessons full time for 6-12 months. Question being, is there any chance of connecting with a helicopter CFI with access to a helicopter (300CB or any other) who would come to me and instruct me through the commercial rating? I did not know if there were retired CFI's or anyone looking for off seasonal work or whatever ( like crop dusters do during the off season). Do any of you, more familiar to the field, have any ideas or (constructive???) advice for me. Thanks in advance for your advice. Rick. My email is: ****or post on message board**** |
