Default Flight Lessons - Helicopter

Hi,

A colleague of mine is contemplating taking up helicopter lessons at Bankstown. Can anyone suggest a reputable operator he can feel confident with to start his flying career?

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

Heli scenic I hear are pretty good. Your friend might find it a worthwhile exercise to write to the Senior Tower Controller, Bankstown Airport, P O Box 239, Condell Park, NSW 2200 asking for a famil visit as a future pilot to the tower. I am sure if they say yes, they will be able to get some off the record recommendations from the controllers perspectives during the visit. I have fond memories of my now ancient time at Bankstown in the tower, and still a few nightmares.
