Not if you are the federal government

I had a guy tell me the other day that getting the time in required for a helicopter license is very expensive and it's best to get you pilot license first.

You'd need a helicopter license. Typically you'd already have one for flying a private small fixed wing craft. But not required. This is in the US though.

Never get in a helicopter if the pilot has less than 500 flying hours

Never get in a helicopter

FTFY

Now on a whim you wanna fly a chopper 😂

I wonder if the city permits them in the back yard 🧐

Yep

If you want to fly it more than once, I’d say yes.

I’m not sure l appreciate ur attitude🤣🤣🤣😂

Funniest post o day…so far👊🏽

Yes, and there are valid reasons.

No. You only need a helicopter and knowledge of how to use it. Now, if you want to do it legally, you need a license.

Although, if ultralight class helicopters exist, then you don't need a license in the US.

I’ve never seen a helicopter get pulled over 🤪

Of course not. Helicopters are not consuming licences to fly.

I did. Maybe not for small experimental ones, but I wouldn't go that route. :)

Fixed wing then heli.
