Hi,
I am looking to hire either a R22 or R44 once or twice a month to help build hours and remain current. I only have 113hrs total time so understand there might be some reluctance there, but thought it best to be honest upfront.
Heliwest are no longer here so unsure of other options as google/yellow pages aren't much help. Please PM if you know of anyone who might be interested, will be mostly for weekend flights.
Thanks,
Zeus

Where did Heli-West go, or more particularly the instructor who was there and often on here with helpful advice?

Don't know they still have the sign on the hanger and they are still on their website. I have tried ringing a few times over a coupe weeks with no answer. I rang head office today and they told me they are no longer here, I had even recommended them to a couple potential students...

That helpful instructor is still online, maybe not as often, due to his biz in Melbourne.
Shame to hear HW closed the shop. You should have introduced those potential students earlier. May have delayed the inevitable.

Pretty hard to introduce people from Toowoomba to a flying school when you only have been here two weeks.

Quick let HQ know, if they haven't shifted the helis, maybe they'd send FI over. If you don't ask, don't get.
Sure, it's wishful thinking/disappointment on my side. Was telling my missus I could get FI job there maybe later if she got good contract/work there herself, seems more vacancies in her 'field'.
May ask the fw school at Wellcamp if nothing in Archerfield or Gold Coast for me later when job ready. That'd be fw FI, mind you. The half grand heli hours mean piss-all nowadays for Aus jobs, just maybe good for the ATPL in future, bit more night instrument heli and voila. Oh, that'd be troublesome now too, with all the multicrew heli/sim for test, standalone MCC etc.
