With any luck, flight school is right around the corner for me. I will more than likely be attending Guidance Helicopters school in Prescott Arizona. The program is two years long and will give me 200 hours in R22 and R44 helicopters, giving me a Private Pilot Certificate, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot Certificate, Flight Instructor Certificate with Helicopter Rating and Instrument Helicopter Rating.
Next step for a guy with these ratings is landing (haha) a job as a flight instructor. Sometimes, if there are openings, the school that trained you may offer a job. I sure wouldn't mind staying in Prescott, it is gorgeous!
There are a few things I have to take care of before I get accepted... First is drop about 20 pounds (R22 seat weight restriction is reduced due to the high altitude of Love field) and brush up on my algebra so I can pass the placement test.
So I'm seeing a tutor (Thanks Mr. Dan!) And eating a lot of food that tastes like cardboard.
Pretty soon I will have to look down to see up!
