For many pilots the Instrument rating is left for later in a pilot’s career. The rating needs to be kept current each year which involves a flight test in addition to the normal commercial licence flight tests. The night rating is a vital rating for any commercial pilot and 10 hours from the night rating count towards an instrument rating, even if the instrument rating is done years later. A conversion to the R44 is equally, a very valuable rating for the new commercial pilot.
Due to a shortage of helicopter instructors country- and worldwide, an instructor rating is often a great way for a new commercial pilot to begin building his/her hours. The potential instructor must understand, however, that patience and an ability to clearly and concisely explain concepts to a student are vital qualities.
