CPL training in Norway/Europe

Hi Again folks,

So continuing my search for Training options Ive been looking into training in Europe and Scandinavin countries, specifically Norway at the moment. Im an Irish citizen so have the right to live and work their I believe and schools seem a bit cheaper their than here, I'm also aware of the cost of living. Does anyone have any knowledge of good training options in Norway or Europe and is their any financial help in the form of student loans etc for an EU member country. Id really like to get into utilities and underslung lifting work and feel there is more opportunities for this outside of the UK.

Im very much just exploring options right now so ignore my ignorance in a lot of this please! Any help is much appreciated. Feel free to drop me a DM.

Cheers

Ch-146 Griffon out of CFB edmonton.

Ch-146 doing what I assume is a training flight. Always love working this part of the city because I'm right across from the base and they are always doing low level training often in pairs. Sorry for the bad quality

Headset Equip/Upgrade(s)

Alright gang let’s hear it- What headset do you rock out in the real world?

Currently I’ve got the Bose A30 b/c a program helped me to afford ‘em. I love Bose products & ANR/Bluetooth are kickass. Recently found out I can add those features to my DC’s (H10-36) which would be even better imo (they fit & look so much better than the Bose imo).

So, what’s your preference? Are the upgrades to my DC worth in it your opinion?

Btw I did not say helmets (although feel free to throw any ideas for when I have an extra 5k to be spent).

Very specific question

Did any pilots here take this course at Buckinghamshire New University in the UK?

https://www.bucks.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/bsc-hons-aviation-management-commercial-pilot-training-helicopters

If you took this course, or have any thoughts on it, I'd love to speak to you more about it.

Helicopter pilot has always been my dream job and I'm determined to try and make it happen but I don't have banks and banks of savings to make it happen, so any other advice is welcome

Thanks for your help everyone :)

CFIA adding CFIH - HFA written test. 25 questions

I'm commercial RW, CFI Airplane, adding the CFI Helicopter. the ACS says I need to take the 25 question written for cfih add on. Only 25 questions. Isn't the database of questions the same database for the 100 FRH written? Why would anyone take the shorter version instead of the 100 question?

Need some help identifying this helicopter

I’ve had this flying over my house quite a bit and in some instances hovering for long periods of time.. I couldn’t find any registration or information on flight radar as it appears anonymous. I don’t know much about helicopters and have had no luck with research. I’m not sure why this one has peaked my interest but if anyone knows what it may be that would be awesome!

Apologies for the average photo.. it’s the best I could get
