Learning to fly is a great way to put the freedom of the skies in your own hands. However, whilst learning to fly large aeroplanes will undoubtedly be even more beneficial than flying any other type of craft, allowing you not only the freedom of the skies yourself, but also the ability to get extremely well paid work that could take you all over the world, the cost and time it can take to become a major airline pilot can be quite significant indeed.
As such, for those who merely want to have the opportunity to head up into the heavens whenever they feel like it, taking helicopter lessons may make far more sense.
The benefits of learning to fly a helicopter are still numerous, and not only might you have access to a surprisingly diverse range of jobs once you get your helicopter licence, there are also likely to be far more jobs that can be found where a helicopter pilot licence will be beneficial than could be found if you merely had a licence to fly planes.
Furthermore, the rental of helicopters for the day is likely to be far less than that of planes and therefore should you wish to take friends or family up into the air for a treat, you are far more likely to find that you can do so regularly if you have a helicopter licence.
However, whichever type of flying you choose to do, there will be a host of other benefits that go far beyond merely having a novel form of transport at your disposal. Whilst being able to get to far off destinations quickly and directly will be in itself a great benefit, and whilst the career opportunities that can be opened up by having commercial jet or helicopter pilot training can be great, the ability to fly also simply offers many personal benefits such as improved confidence, greater coordination and even the ability to overcome phobias such as the fear of heights and, paradoxically, even the fear of flying.
