Just in case anyone is impatient to get to the topic in the video title, they start the discussion of training in Canada vs. USA at @15:43 in the video. ;-)
Misha, Its impossible for a US person to save money by going to Canada for training. On the Private to Commercial training its an additional 20 hours in Canada at Canadian rates which do NOT vary a great deal from the US for similar aircraft but can be dramatically cheaper especially in the R44. I'd say the R22 is 25% cheaper in the US compared to Canada. On 100 hours that saving is not to be sneezed at. In the US system at the same cost as a TC CPL, you get an instrument rating and night rating. Both those would be additional in Canada. If you are going to do comparisons, keep it objective and impartial please.
There's a school in the UK advertising that they are offering the first ever fixed-price helicopter licence, they are called Ice Helicopters, so you can get your PPL(H) in either a Cabri G" or the Robinson R44 but if it were me, I'd much rather be taught by Mischa Gelb in BC, I mean just look at that beautiful scenery, it's nearly as beautiful if not on par with my own country which is Scotland, but Mischa sounds like he really knows what he's talking about and is a super brilliant teacher too !!

This takes me back to my training days in New Zealand and flying around the incredible Tararua Mountains. But I have to agree, trainee pilots are usually on a tight budget, and it's a good indication of the integrity of a flying school when they give a syllabus with structured costs. Of course another big plus is the training environment which looks absolutely stunning.
The USA charges $0 for navigation, landing or usage fees. Landing a GA aircraft in the world's most busiest airport, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson, will set you back a whooping $7. Depending on which state you train in, the fuel may or may not be expensive, but I suspect that fuel is cheaper in Canada. Like I posted earlier, both the USA and Canada make it possible for pilots of each country to convert licenses from one Authority to another. Your video made me look up the Transport Canada sources! Thank you!
As a 22 year pilot, I find your comment of more experienced pilots a stretch. Training is different but not enough to spend excess money to travel to Canada when I can do mostly the same at home with zero extra expenses. My Canadian in-laws 100 percent concur.
Live in washington up north west, 100 miles from Canada. If price isn't going to be cheaper, the views of evergreens is literally the same here and we have volcanoes 40 miles from my airport.
Safety pilot can log PIC because he becomes a required crewmember as VFR under the hood is not permitted without one, even in a single pilot aircraft. Same goes for Spec Ops on company aircraft. 2 pilots in a Caravan can log time even though its a single pilot aircraft but because it's a dual pilot operation the FO becomes a required crewmember.
Five kids?! Holy moly! We need to start a go-fund-me for them to eventually afford a Huey or maybe a Chinook!! How awesome!!! Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!
Hey Mischa, greetings! The beauty, and variety of the landscapes are unmatched. Where else can you go to see glaciers, snow capped mountains, beautiful coastlines, lakes, rivers, and in just a few minutes? I absolutely love it there. I'll be back!😁
@@PilotYellow Hey Mischa, what's happening?😁 Let me tell something, I have a permanent grin on my face since that adventure. I watched the last video I sent you every day since then. Also, I brag to all my friends, and family about my experience almost daily. I'm coming back!!! I got bitten by the heli bug! Say hi to the crew for me. By the way, my video has over 200 views in just a week! Shocking!😁💥💥💥💥
1. Audio and video quality were great in this video - much prefer the GoPro 2. Amazing to see Rick's progress and he looks so natural and calm flying the R44. 3. Amazing how close you can get to those waterfalls. 4. Starting to save for an introductory flight...
Yay Dave, you the man.Wow Canada is lovely and green and that was a very nice flight and Heather enjoyed it to, lucky lady, away from the children for a couple of hrs. Nice vid.
It feels like you all are flying in Avatar, I’m gobsmacked by the backcountry beauty of B.C, it’s heaven on Earth.I feel like you’re the luckiest person on Earth if you can get your training from Misha, he’s so relaxed, supportive, and smart( no he’s not paying me to say this)😄 Wishing you all the best with the rest of your trading Rick( smart man to pick your training between BC and Hawaii) Happy Birthday to your wife, what a great birthday present! Thanks for sharing all of the great videos, I enjoy watching everyone of them and they make my day🚁⛰🏞
Thank you! Really looking forward to Hawaii too. My wife says "Thank you for the birthday wishes", it's going to be hard to top this one 😂. -Rick 🚁👨🏼✈️
Beautiful camera work! Beautiful country! My concern is flying over open water without emergency floats or personal floation devices .....also, flying at low altitude over the extreme forested mountainous terrain it would seem to this fixed wing pilot that a successful emergency landing could be very high risk endeavor.
This my first vid of yours to watch. The narration is great. The view around the deck was informative. Looking forward to watching your other vids. Liked and subscribed.
It is interesting that we are allowed to log PIC as a safety pilot, here in the states, as long as we have current medical and current certification. The difference remains with the idea of logging vs acting as PIC. Only one person can act at the PIC for that flight, so the conversation really should be had prior to the flight. At least that is my understanding of the regulations.
I would love to fly in Canada. The transition of licenses between the FAA (US) and CANADA is very straightforward, without the needless bureaucracy that one finds when trying to get EASA (European Aviation and Space Agency) Certification. It would be interesting to fly in both countries. Canada offers lots of opportunities to experience artic and mountain terrain. I have flown with many Canadian pilots, and to a man (or woman), they're all good. The USA offers this also, but also an opportunity to fly in high-density-altitude (45C/115F) desert and jungle environments also.
I really like the bicycle handle styled joystick, I feel like you would have more control with that then the other joystick that comes out of the floor of the chopper and is probably more comfortable to control and much easier and quicker for co-pilot to latch on and fly.. P.S. you need a bigger chopper for this 6"6 man lol, his knees are almost touching his chin, lol
I agree with the quality of training the students receive. However when applying for jobs in the USA most entry level positions are as a flight instructor. The problem with this is that very few flight schools have Cabri’s as their primary trainers. Most of them use the Robinson R22. If students do all of their primary training a the Cabri the transition to the R22 will be more difficult. Not to mention in order to teach in a R22 you must have at least 50 hours in it. Again the quality of instruction that your students receive flying in BC and in the Cabri is great, just logistically down the road they may run into problems finding work; at least in the USA.
I can totally see your point. It is unfortunate that so many people are still using the R22. However the number of Cabri's is growing rapidly in the US right now. I think the people who come train up here would target the schools with the Cabri's and they would have excellent success there.
Besides, Rick wouldn‘t fit in an R22 anyway ... I‘m 6‘4“ and am absolutely maxed out in the R22, no space for 2 more inches here. Can‘t wait to get myself into a Cabri; should be a lot more stable than the little Robi after I heard that the R44 supposedly is more sensitive than the G2 and bearing in mind that the R44 is considerably more stable than its 2-seat sibling ... Thanks for the great footage and infos again, thumbs up!!
I would like to see what the comparison would be like between the Canadian and Australian licences and what it would take to convert between the two especially going from Canadian to Australian CPLH ...hope you get an Aussie through there one day to be able to do a video on it
I'm surprised it would be cheaper to fly in Canada. Last I checked the exchange rate was $1.00 to $1.50 Canadian. Plus figure in the living expenses. I would still need 250 total in helos to get the conversion to FAA license. Would love to fly a Cabri G2 and see what it's like compared to an R-22. Hmm, now what was the cost of a US passport? 😁
Has any one told that student with his size he will have to find a student when he’s a CFI his student will have to weigh 22 lbs and fly with 1/4 tank of fuel in the R22 ?
How is it with conversions to EU? I know here in Norway we have options of going to the US, Denmark or Sweden for the practical training, i guess Canada should be possible aswell then?
I’m fixed wing only, over 2500 hours including over 800 hours tailwheel and 600 as FO in Falcon 20s. CFI, double I, and multi-I as well. Haven’t flown in years though, and only recently got interested in helicopters. What’s he advantage of coming to BC Helicopters for a guy like me?
Yes the PPL conversion is just an interview and it's done. The CPL conversion is a 30 question multiple choice exam and a validation of your license and logbook. Pretty simple as well.
Pilot Yellow I was wondering what the costs would be like - I am contemplating getting a Heli license - my choices are here in Texas US or BC later on (6 months) - BTW great vid Thanks for all the wonderful content!!!!
@@Adygoka1 Don't rush to Texas. I drove to Huston and found out the information I was given was incorrect and ended up driving to Oregon which beats the Hell out of the higher training and accommodation costs in Texas. Ramjet555 at goodoldGmail is where I'm at.
@@PilotYellow TC in Vancouver have been giving incorrect information to foreign pilots with FAA licences claiming incorrectly, that they were not entitled to the NAFTA conversion without a flight test.
Question I've been pondering for awhile. Why do you always wear a helmet? I realize that it must be safer in a crash, but are there enough statistics showing that helmets saved head trauma? Or do you just feel safer in it?
Seth Sutherland a helmet can definitely do a lot to save your life. I’ve seen it first hand in several cases. You’d never ride a motor bike without a helmet would you?
@@PilotYellow Makes sense! Haha of course not, but I've also never worn a helmet while flying in a plane or helicopter. lol But I can see how it would be safer.
It's more expensive, mostly because of all the TAXES!! As he said in the US, you have a HUGE range of prices. I am from the US, and trained (FIXED WING, not helicopter) at one of the most inexpensive, but OUTSTANDING flight schools in northern California (Cal Aggie Flying Farmers in Davis, CA). After getting my private pilot certificate, I did the first part of my instrument training at the same school and then finished up at a school in Manhattan, Kansas (GATTS), where they had an accelerated IFR program. It was a very good deal and they charged a "flat fee". Finally, I got my commercial certificate at the Rochester Air Center in Rochester, New York and then moved to the Niagara region in Ontario, Canada. It was a real easy conversion to get a Canadian CPL, but my flight training got delayed due to Covid. Now I'm continuing my flight instructor training in Canada and can't believe how expensive the rates for the planes and instructors are!! (mostly because of the insane *TAXES* that are added to the bill!!). They tax you to death here!!!
Also, the terrain is easily matched in the US. Same mountains, plains, bogs, rivers, lakes etc.... I wonder how you come to say it's different or better.
Rick,...look up Jim Gaffigan “Five Kids” on UA-cam, it’s about you two ! 😂 You can fly that R44 with your knees!🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁 Rick, what’s your T-shirt Say??🤷🏻♂️🌴🦜🌴🦜🌴🦜Hawaii...hmm 😎
He also requires 10 hour night rating. I’d also recommend saving 10 hours to familiarize with the US flight school. Overall i think it’s the best of both worlds doing both TC and FAA, it’s exactly what I did. I actually had a flight with Misha back in 2011 😀
I really enjoyed my USA night cross country, did most of it under the hood and it really made me work a hell of a lot harder than fixed wing. Read up on illusions, just add some rain drops and the risk factors increase dramatically. Ramjet555 at goodoldGmail is where I'm at.
@@glengosling5636 With your housing, food etc. probably close to $60,000 Just the 4 month flying course here at B.C.

Is flight training cheaper in Canada than in the U.S?
It's more expensive, mostly because of all the TAXES!! As he said in the US, you have a HUGE range of prices. I am from the US, and trained (FIXED WING, not helicopter) at one of the most inexpensive, but OUTSTANDING flight schools in northern California (Cal Aggie Flying Farmers in Davis, CA).
After getting my private pilot certificate, I did the first part of my instrument training at the same school and then finished up at a school in Manhattan, Kansas (GATTS), where they had an accelerated IFR program. It was a very good deal and they charged a "flat fee".
Finally, I got my commercial certificate at the Rochester Air Center in Rochester, New York and then moved to the Niagara region in Ontario, Canada.
It was a real easy conversion to get a Canadian CPL, but my flight training got delayed due to Covid.

How many hours of PIC do you have by the time you finish your CPL in Canada?
You have at least 35 PIC when you complete your CPL here. You can have up to a maximum of 45 PIC if you want it.
Misha in this video you said 6 months completion for Commercial Pilot License not 4. Any reason?
Rogan yes because he is doing 150 hours so he can convert back to the US. The 100hr commercial in Canada is 4 months.

I really enjoyed my USA night cross country, did most of it under the hood and it really made me work a hell of a lot harder than fixed wing. Read up on illusions, just add some rain drops and the risk factors increase dramatically. Ramjet555 at goodoldGmail is where I'm at.
I would love to hear more about your experience, I will get my night rating here in BC.
Thanks,

How much does it cost to learn to fly in Canada?
@@glengosling5636 With your housing, food etc. probably close to $60,000 Just the 4 month flying course here at B.C. Helicopters from what I just read is $57,000 for a commercial Helicopter pilots license, which is not too bad at all, especially for the training that you'll receive from B.C. Helicopters great pilots.
I will call soon
Can't wait to talk to you then.
