I work for a fire department and I want to become a helicopter pilot for the department. I’m torn on military or private route. Military, will be gone for 2 years, I have a young child so that factors in. Private. I’m 6’4” 240 pounds so I will have to lose weight to fly a R22. Departments minimum is commercial license. Money for private is not a huge issue. But i don’t have the money for flying a r44.
