Sorry if this is a FAQ - a friend of mine heard a commercial on the radio
to
learn to be a helicoper pilot from Silver State Helicopers. He doesn't
know
much about the internet, but asked me if I could find post on this group
for
him.

* Is learning to be a helicoper pilot a reasonable thing to start to do at
53 years of age?

You're never too old to learn, it just takes longer. In some cases MUCH
longer.

* How long does it take before you can start earning a living doing this?

AAAHHHHH, a completely different question and one that I suspect he won't
like the answer to. Think "1000 hours experience" as a minimum and then
think "How am I going to log all those hours?"


* What would I expect to spend in tuition?

"I"? I thought this was for your friend? :-)) Anyway, the simple answer is
"Lots". Over here in the UK, we'd expect to pay around 15,000 GBP (around 30
grand US) just for starters.
