I choose both! Because I can and I refuse to let anyone say otherwise!

You summarized me in the helicopter pilot profile 100%. It was almost scary.

Planning on coming here next year to get a bachelors for the one that has emphasis on Rotor-Wing. Is there only one set degree plan? Or can I pick my electives and minors? Because I would also like to do some psychology or maybe even astrophysics

There are a certain set amount of courses to complete the degree, but as for the electives, they’re yours to choose!

Just do both

Im currently in college right now and graduate in 2023 but i might consider coming here. I just cant decide between helicopter or airplane. I definitely“type a” personality but love to travel, ant recommendations?

@@jayasmrmore3687 Yes, but last time I looked at rental rates in my area, a plane was $150/hr and a helicopter was $250/hr. Getting my fixed-wing PPL was already ruinously expensive; I simply am not rich enough to fly helicopters. Of course both CAN swallow unlimited money, up to and including buying your own F-16. Fixed-wing just has a lower first rung.

Hello I almost came to college there when I got out of the Corps in 2020. I'm in the army now and about to get out again in 2024.

Hey Jeffrey, in order to fly in the United States, you’ll need approval from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). You’ll also need to live here, in Utah, for the flight training. If you’d like more information on that, you can contact us at aviation@suu.edu or at 435-586-7862

Does the G.I. Bill pay for the private license in your program? I know a lot don’t.

@Austin Hill, most schools won’t cover PPL. The one I’m at does. I’m currently earning my rotary PPL with the GI Bill at Sinclair College in Dayton, OH. Hit me up if you have any questions.

im about to go down the heli route. Ngl, the thought of flying in an r22 until i get my hours up scares the sh*t outta me. is it something that you get used to?

@SUUAviation

Жыл бұрын

Hi Jordan! The R22 is a popular training craft (We have one that our Aircraft Maintenance students use for training!). Our students get most of their helicopter training in the bigger cousin of the R22, the R44 (along with training in our larger Bell helicopters). In regards to the R44, we have found that students start getting more comfortable once they get into the 10+ hour mark, but that will vary depending on the student.

That feeling goes away quickly. The R22 is a safe and fun ship to fly once you learn how to make it do what you want.

Helicopter is much much better .....Thanks

I agree with everything you said minus that airplane pilots are more academic I believe it takes alot more brainpower and intelligence to fly a helicopter vs a plane. But everything else was very good 👍🏼

That’s great! You won’t be able to receive a license until you’re 17 years old, but we recommend taking an intro flight or two to get some time in the aircraft. As for now, continue to do well in school, so that when you’re ready to start applying, you’ll be in the best position as possible.

@JustAnotherTowerClimber Well, I just interviewed for a job that required 500 hours and paid $15 bucks an hour, and he told me that 40 people applied for that one slot. If you have over 2,000-3,000 hours I hear you can make a decent living, and there do seem to be a ton more HEMS jobs than pilots if you have the hours. Entry level pilots though, are a dime a dozen. So competition is fierce, jobs are scarce, and pay is low,...way low!

@JustAnotherTowerClimber If the school who trains you hires you as a flight instructor, then you teach your way to 1,000, then try to get an entry level turbine job flying tours (also very competative) and do that until you have 2,000-3,000 hours. If they don't hire you? You get in your car and drive all over the country trying to convince every single flight school you find that you are a better choice than the other 300 guys they've interviewed.
