Nigerdeltaboi: The reason they ask for a FIXED wing license is because converting pilots from fix to rotor is cheaper than training them from scratch. Only 100hrs is required by the FAA to add on ur fix wing license to convert it to heli, its so much cheaper than training from scratch which can cost up to $80,000. |

fritxie101:nah, u don't necessarily have to study a course related to aviation. What is required of you is your B.sc and NYSC discharge cert or letter of exemption. You must also have keen interest and passion for flying combined with some knowledge on aircrafts. I studied Micro-Biology. 1 Like |

Re: 2015 Graduate Cadet Pilots Programme At Bristow Helicopters (Nigeria) Limited by manny4life(m): 10:22pm On Jan 20, 2015 |
Nigerdeltaboi: It varies... Could be anywhere from $9k to $14 even with the exchange rate and that may be inclusive of all the prerequisites such as medical, ground school, check ride and certification. |

manny4life: For fixed wing , maybe yes, but for Heli's. It aint happening with even 20k USD. last i was there, an hour cost $300 and the average person gets to between 55-60 hrs, next is the ground sch, depends on ur aptitude, u can spend close to 1500 on that alone, then the test was about 500 bucks and thats if u pass once, if u have to redo the test, u paying another fee, then theres the medical , written exams , books, rent and maybe u wld be needing a car cos most airports are outta town , so if u factor all that in , you wld be spending a while lot more than 25k USD. |

Here is a sample breakdown of a PPL depending on the following Location: FL is the center of flight training and that's because they have a very warm weather all year round. Therefore, there's more competition with lower rates. Availability: How soon do you want to start and how soon do you want to finish? FAA mandates at least 40 hrs but you can wrap up in 50 hrs or less. Type of airplane? Glass cockpit? That affects the rental rate and the instructor who teaches you. Ranges from $90 to $170/hr Instructor: Is your instructor very well experience or is he / she just a recent graduate. The experienced folks are more expensive. Ranges from $55 to $90/hr |

smokes: Oh, it's for heli... Got it, I thought he was asking for fixed wing.. Never mind then. Although even at that, one must shop around. Spending $25k on PPL is too expensive. If you spend $25k on PPL, what will you do to when it comes to a CPL that requires a lot of hours? I still think anyone with the right mind can achieve that regardless. Rotor wing may be more expensive than fixed wing, but the approach is the same anyway. |

manny4life: Not to sound rude but are you a pilot? |
Re: 2015 Graduate Cadet Pilots Programme At Bristow Helicopters (Nigeria) Limited by manny4life(m): 11:15pm On Jan 20, 2015 |
smokes: Yes, from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, though not a career pilot. |

Akalia: Yea like we don't know. Abeg borrow me your commercial pilot license CPL |
Re: 2015 Graduate Cadet Pilots Programme At Bristow Helicopters (Nigeria) Limited by Nobody: 11:31pm On Jan 20, 2015 |
manny4life: Okay, then you should know having attended a top tier institution that cost an arm and a leg that the worst thing that can happen to anyone is going for pilots training and not being able to finish it cos you under estimated the cost, its best you dont start at all. Not to discourage anyone aspiring to go for the training but its best to be ready financially. The last dude i know of , spent close to 20k usd for helicopter PPL and he didnt pay rent, hire a car & he finished in 56 hours, and that was last year OCT, so when i say 25k usd, im being conservative, people have spent more having fallen into the wrong hands. 1 Like |
