ADAM GETS HIS NEW HELICOPTER
Where do you live?
Twin Waters, Sunshine Coast,Queensland,Australia
What’s your occupation?
Businessman with a variety of interests.
Why do you want to fly helicopters?
I have had a fixed wing license since 1987 and always promised myself to explore the “other” and now finding it absolutely great! The ultimate convenience of not having to find a suitable runway will be fantastic.
Why did you choose Beckers?
Firstly the welcoming enthusiasm as I would come through the door for the last few years to enquire after I shifted down here from Emerald. Secondly the availability, presentation and professionalism of the initial information provided including “Mike Becker’s Helicopter Handbook”.
When did you start training?
December 2007
What are you flying?
Commenced in R44 Raven 1 and now in R44 Raven 2.
How many hours have you flown?
Approximately 1500 hours Fixed Wing (but mostly 10 – 15 years ago). 33 hours so far in helicopter and loving it.
Best flying experience so far?
In the helicopter it was going into confined areas and realising the capability and manoverability of the aircraft more.
Not so best flying experience?
Non so far in helicopter … all been great. In fixed wing it was an off runway landing in a paddock in a Pitts Special nearly in the dark. Something I would recommend not to do.
How many hours do you have to go?
Thousands …… to go where??
What are your flying plans for the future?
Hopefully progress to PPL in the near future, start get a lot of flying time and experiences happening in the R44 undertaking lots of distance trips and progressing steadily through commercial study to gain Commercial License in the coming months. The purpose of gaining the Commercial license is not driven by career aspirations but rather than by personal interests in attaining particular measured levels of competency.
Where did you get your new helicopter?
A suitable specified machine was available immediately through Helibiz at the Gold Coast so rather than wait for one to be imported I took the opportunity to get it now.
Anything else to add?
Since commencing the training at Becker’s the biggest stand out points for me has been the quality of instruction and in particular the manner in which is communicated (no screaming instructors) and also the overall camaraderie of all staff and current students. It is an atmosphere that encourages great and successful outcomes for all.
