    Hi

    I am interested in training as a commercial helicopter pilot and before I spend a lot of money I need to know that there is a demand for this skill. So is there???

    If so has any one got a good recommendation for a helicopter flight school that they have attended?

    Plus I have read that the Robinson r-22 and r-44 are the most used trainers. But I have also read that the industry in not impress with Robinson air time when it comes to getting a job. Has any one got any experience with this or guidance that they can impart to some one new to the industry?

    Yes, they are.
    Rotors of the Rockies in Denver are excellent, all their students get cfi- and other jobs right away. Getting your license in Denver is a big bonus...a free power management/high altitude experience is incuded in the courses :O).

    ...and they don't use Robinsons :O))
