If you consider learning how to fly with a real helicopter, you have 2 options: it is either enrolling for a helicopter training course or taking up helicopter lesson. While the terms used may be quite similar and the medium is also similar, the approach is entirely different. And if you are thinking of choosing the former over the latter, then you could simply be surprised with the cost of the whole helicopter training course. While choosing the latter would only cost a couple of hundred dollars.
The usual helicopter training course could cost at around $20,000 to $45,000. This would last depending on your availability. Usually, it would be over between 3-7 months with a 5-day a week training. The cost would payoff after you have finished the course and acquiring the license. You can either have a Private License or a Commercial Helicopter License where you can fly a helicopter and make it a career.
With the cost and the duration of the training, it might not be so practical if you only would want to try out the experience of flying a helicopter. And, it would not also be so practical if you dont have any plans of becoming a helicopter pilot.
