Turbine PIC time at Group3 for $135?
Has anyone tried the program at Group3 that allows you to build PIC
time in a 206? I found it when I was looking for a transition course, and it just seems too good to be true. $135 for 206 time? http://www.group3aviation.com/site/h...ic/bottom.html I'd be interested to hear from anyone that has tried it. Thanks. |

Again, just wondering... Nishan |

Save your money and do something more useful to your career;
Head down to Hurst TX and attend the 206BIII initial class at Bell. You'll actually learn something and actually fly the aircraft.

Did he think that it was worth it? Bart has suggested that it might
be a waste of money and I'd like someones opinion thats actually done it. I'd like to get exposure to the machine, and have some time on the controls, but I'm not sure that I'm ready to spend $6k for initial class with Bell when I don't have anywhere near enough time to even think about a job.

Speaking to my CFI today, he said that he did indeed pay about $135/hr to fly it... nishan |

Well, I finally did ask my CFI if he thought it was worth it and he
basically said, "yes". Are you going to be allowed to do anything significant in it? Absolutely not. He said he got to do a pick-up/set-down and basically "fly it around". If the ship needs to be "worked" or HOGE'd for a freeway shot or whatever, you'll have to give up the controls. But if you're looking to experience basic PIC flight in the 206 to gauge your interest, he felt the price could not be beat. FWIW, He never did move on to the transition course...
