What is the typical salary for a helicopter pilot?
Salaries for a pilot will vary from job to job and person to person. Each pilot has a different amount of flight time and experience, and this can factor for how much you make as well. Most students obtain their CFI or work as a pilot-in-command so that they can get their foot in the helicopter industry’s door and start to increase their hours. To give you an approximation, though, full-time pilots will make around $50,000 to $80,000 per year. For more information take a look at the graph on our Careers page.
