Just wondering what cross hire opportunities there are for a low hour CPL to hire a R22, R44 or Schweizer 300 for a spot of private flying in Victoria?
If you don't work as a pilot and don't own your own aircraft but hold a CPL or PPL, where does one go to hire a helicopter for a few hours and what's involved (ie. insurance, checkrides, etc.)?
Always curious.

the going rate for an R22 is usually around $370 - $400 an hour, an R44 is around $600, but not sure about a schweizer.
What sort of beaches are you thinking about? If there are people around, having sand blown in their face at high speeds is a fast way to get them off side. But i'd definitely be thinking about council approval, and double checking the beach doesnt land in controlled airspace

Cheers wheatbix thanks for that info... Its a pretty un-occupied beach so if anyone is there they will only be passing by, Hopefully (or until they see a chopper land then I'm sure there will be a few interested by standers) Its for a mates wedding he wants me to fly him and his wife away after the ceremony.
