Editor's note: The following article is not intended to be a ranking, but is only to serve as a list of possible options. As the saying goes, your mileage may vary.

This article will explore some low time helicopter pilot jobs for commercial rotor wing pilots with lower hours. Most high-paying utility and air ambulance pilot jobs require thousands of hours of pilot-in-command time, which is also known as PIC time. 

Pilots often gain hours by instructing flights, flying aerial tours, or working as second-in-command of a larger helicopter. These jobs are typically not the same job that pilots will hold forever, as they may be referred to as time-building pilot jobs.

How To Become a Helicopter Pilot?

In the United States, pilots attend flight schools to obtain helicopter pilot ratings. Most large cities have helicopter flight schools, or flight training can be completed through a university.  Pilots obtain a private pilot certificate, and then a commercial pilot certificate. An instrument rating and flight instructor certificate can also help pilots gain valuable experience. 

How Long Does it Take to Become a Helicopter Pilot?

The time to become a helicopter pilot depends on your available time, available finances, and availability of aircraft. Seasonal weather can delay flight training depending on the time of the year. 

How Much Does it Cost to Become a Helicopter Pilot?

The cost of training is the biggest barrier to most helicopter pilot prospects. Pilots should plan to spend between $18,000 and $30,0000 to obtain their private pilot certificate. Financing can help cover costs, but it can take years until pilots are able to obtain paid pilot jobs to repay loans.
