I started my training in May of 2007 and then started flying commercially in June of 2008. As of right now I am just over the 1,400hrs total helicopter with over 200hrs of unaided night. As for my training, I received most of my flight training with the company that I now work for (Sevier County Choppers, which is in Sevierville, TN) as the Senior flight instructor and tour pilot in the R22 and R44.
Most schools have issues using the R22 for IFR training due to more expenses in the equipment in the aircraft for a low rental fee. That and you are usually at Max Gross weight or close to it when going out for a two hour flight.
The $250/hr for the R22 sure beats the $425-600/hr for the R44! I can't complain.
If you are already a rated helicopter pilot and this is simply an instrument add on, than it would be 15hrs in category (helicopter). At that is usually no problem especially if you are current in flying instrument procedures in an airplane and can already fly well in a helicopter. It is simply a different set of controls a couple different rules.
Yep! Although it isn't the most professional panel in the world, we have all the necessary equipment for IFR checkrides. Me and about 5 other people have gotten their Instrument training and check rides done in the particular aircraft.
We don't have any ADF/NDB equipment, which is nice because it is such old technology. We have the Garmin 430 which allows us to do GPS, VOR, ILS approaches.
Can you take an IFR checkride in an R22 that doesn't have the big IFR trainer panel? I want to add an instrument rating to my private heli rating but my flight school says I have to use their expensive R44 IFR trainer for this.

@notar1 We haven't made it to the world of EMS flying. Still searching for a turbine job to be qualified.

Maybe I should come to you for my IFR rating, I have an ATP airplane, how many hours will it take to get a helicopter instrument rating?
