Helicopter Pilot Jobs

    Helicopters can be used for many things and have countless jobs. Helicopters are great at flying working men and women to oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico or other oil rigs all over the sea. (In the movie Man of Steel) In an emergency a helicopter can rush to critically injured crash or a really ill person. If there is a major crash or wreck on the freeway a news helicopter can report it to keep people safer and save us time by not getting stuck in a traffic jam that is backed up because of the accident. I could never list all of the jobs a helicopter could do, there are just too many. This is why Helicopters are the workhorse of the aviation world. They are just to awesome!

    Since there are so many jobs a helicopter can do, there are countless number of businesses that can use helicopter pilots in a wide array of functions. One of the best abilities a helicopter and a helicopter pilot can do is land in small areas. Unlike plains being able to land in small areas opens up a lot more tasks a helicopter can do.

    These new helicopters are a lot better and can fly up to speeds that are really fast and way more helpful than a car. Rich people and businesses really like using helicopters as taxis for this reason. In big cities some really big skyscrapers have helicopter landing pads on their roofs. This is so rich people can get from business to business really quick.

    Unlike airplane or fixed-wings, a helicopter is rated different. A helicopter requires loads more training. Most of the time a pilot who is trying to build an airline career because of how different it is. But if you are a pilot who can fly both fixed-wing and rotary-wing then you are a kick-butt pilot and are very well qualified for most jobs. The famous saying is, If you can fly a helicopter, you can fly anything.

One of the jobs I find really interesting is, Pre-hospital blood product transfusion by U.S. Army MEDEVAC during combat operations. This would be really cool job to have if I get accepted into the army flight school.    

All of the flight medics have to use training and be qualified through a standardized and approved program of instruction. They have to use an elaborate cold chain system, and redundant documentation of blood product units ensured that a flight medic initiated transfusions are safe and effective.

I would love a helicopter job that is used to save lives. Being a life flight helicopter pilot for a hospital would be my dream job. Or being a medical evac in the army saving my fellow troops. Maybe being a fire rescue helicopter pilot were I have to fly down only where a helicopter and go to save someone. There could be a huge flood and people on their roofs need someone to save them. (not superman) In a police chase a helicopter would be handy to help catch the bad guy or worn people where he is going. Whatever the job is, with a helicopter it is the coolest job in the world.
