@tshirtandties Pay is good but still worse then airliners pilot, plus training for helicopters is much more expensive. But its definetly much more interesting job then airline pilot.

@shfullclip9mm AAAAHHH....ok, thx

thsirtandties, don't believe everything you read! We might seem like we don't do many hours flying offshore, but there's a bit more to it than being sat in a rubber suit for up to 800hrs a year. Don't forget the annual line checks, day and night, the night deck landings, the Operators proficiency check ecery 6 months and the Licence Proficiency Check every year. (Like doing your driving test every 6 months) Fail it and you have no licence. !!
My advice, go do something completely different!

One of the pit falls of filming rotating objects...similar to how wagon wheels appear to turn in the opposite direction on film.
-

well let me giv u an idea well maintained maybe but some of the choppers used offshore in the north sea are 50 years old i was on one once and something failed we were nearly at rig had to fly all way back 2 foot above the water, then when we got bak to aberdean a man cutting the grass came over with a toolbox tightened a few nuts n off we went again lol didnt screw up again though but dam i was cacking my kegs the whole way back n back out again
Apparently the pay is really good for North Sea Oil Rig pilots, im studying for my fixed wing PPL but i wouldnt mind going in the rotary side of aviation :)

i have flew myself, know alot of pilots and have looked into rotary too, the pay is good for the amount of hours you are permitted to fly in a period

the tail rotor is running, the just my camera phone not able to capture the images quick enough. Same as when you see a car wheel turning at speed, it looks as if it isnt moving, same thing.
