Flight Attendant Information - what is the average cost of helicopter flight schools?

what is the average cost of helicopter flight schools?

Does it matter whether I'm looking at a commercial rating or just a private rating? How long does it take to successfully complete any giving flight school? What is the best school to check out & try? I've been crazy about helos since I was "knee-high to a grass- hopper". Thanks for any positive answers.

I'm sorry, bcause I don't know the answer to your question. But, I got excited when I saw it posted, because I feel the same way you do. Let's go! Hook me up!! :-)
Like so many other things, it depends. A private certificate will cost less to earn than a commercial because it requires fewer flight hours. You can expect to pay from $5000 to?. The amount of time it takes will depend on you. If you take a lesson once a month it will take a very long time. If you take a lesson every day the time required will be shorter and the cost less. You should really expect to spend at least $10K. Call and visit several flight schools and inquire. If possible speak with their students and graduates.
Helicopter training is very expensive, go to the military and let them train you for free.
To go from start to Commerical/Inst rating here in MS it is around 9 months and $40k ish. The time and money can take longer depending on your learning curve.
