Hi everyone, Are there any hints or tips for me to stay on track with my goal of becoming a (H) CPL? I started in JAN this year. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forums!

Dedication and resourcefulness are always valuable. There's a wealth of information in the Flight Training forum that 'ought to get you off to a good start!

All the best and good luck with the training.

Thank you for the nice welcome and the information Wheatbix!

Welcome aboard

Like everyone else that succeeds: Never Give In, Never Surrender !

Mrs Quagmire is almost through her CPL(H) and whilst the going has been tough, she never contemplated not finishing.
It's more than a career, it's an obsession.

Good luck with the challenge and I'm sure she'll be on to offer hints.

I've come across lots of female chopper pilots and all have been good looking..........

hey Vixen i am a female chopper pilot!!! when i learned to fly there was next to no chicks flying!! it was a little hard in a male dominated industry but we are starting to take over.. look out boys!!!!

my hint - just stick at it, if flying choppers is really what you want to do.. it is an obsession, lifestyle and a hell of a lot of fun!!! not just a job...

pm me if you want to chat anytime...

C'mon guys you wouldn't get away with sexist comment at work (and nor should you) so don't bring them to a professional pilots forum. We are all professional pilots here aren't we? ...... have a nice day

[eddy edwards]

[Snowcarver04]

Taking over all right. The flight school I finished with last year has 3 female instructors to 1 male and the training manager is female... tsk tsk

[havick]

Just remember the mirrors on helicopters are used for slinging, not putting on your makeup!

[droptmcguts]

As a woman once said to me, if they can put one man on the moon!

Why not all of them........

[with altitude]

havick, thank you for clearing that up, now i know the real use for those mirrors... will leave my lipstick home on the next flight

Funny how there is no other post from Vixen. Hope she hasn't been scared off.

Good luck Vixen, enjoy it!
