How much more does helicopter cost than fixed wing?
(Back to Top) If you are interested in helicopter training, you have a few choices to make regarding how to conduct your training. You can do the entire course (100 hours) on the R22 helicopter at $410 an hour, or you can choose to do the fixed wing course, then subsequently convert it to helicopter by flying only 60 hours in the helicopter. Either way, it does cost more than fixed wing. The best thing to do is to call us and ask for the helicopter department. They will work out a training program that suits your needs and goals. The absolute cost of either fixed wing or helicopter training depends mostly on the individual and the frequency that they can fly.
