Ciao,

Hi Adam,

In my flight school they said that some fixed wing pilots never could learn to fly Helis and some Heli pilots never learned fixed wing. What otherwise is a common route is to start with fixed wing as it is cheaper to get the hours of basic flight training, navigation and such. Thereafter or in parallell take your heli-training and with the combined hours get the Helicopter license. Or both, since it will be cheaper to maintain a fixed wing license if you only fly for pleasure.
