What Type Of License Is Right For Me?

Private Pilot's License. This will enable you to take someone flying with you
or to travel around. If you are interested in being employed as a helicopter
pilot or co-pilot, you will need a Commercial Pilot's License. You may start
out with a private license and then work towards your commercial license, or
you may start working for the commercial license right away.
