While learning to flying a helicopter is said to be more diffiuclt then a fixed-wing aircraft, pilots have described learning to fly a helicopter as easy as learning to ride a bike or drive a car. Once you learn to master the controls of the helicopter, it becomes instinctive.

With a basic understanding of math and physics and a passion for air travel the road to freedom from commercial airlines (at least for the shorter hops) can be within the reach of almost anyone. The exact requirements for obtaining a license will...
