Welcome to The Helicopter Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS!
In this episode of The Helicopter Podcast, host Halsey Schider steps outside his comfort zone and explores the world of experimental aviation with Gerrit Schulze a pilot with a passion for powered parachutes and experimental helicopters like the Rotorway Jet Exec. Though Halsey is less familiar with experimental aircraft, Gerrit opens up a whole new perspective, sharing how this path can be a cost-effective route into aviation—if done correctly and with thorough research.
Gerrit recounts his journey from flying powered parachutes to taking on the challenges and rewards of owning an experimental helicopter. Halsey and Gerrit discuss the potential risks involved, but also the benefits of hands-on mechanics and the supportive community that surrounds experimental aircraft owners. Gerrit also shares his experiences training in the certified world in the Bell 47 and reflects on the nerve-wracking process of checkrides.
This episode shines a light on the importance of preparation and education in the experimental world and offers valuable insights for anyone considering this unconventional path into aviation. Halsey’s conversation with Gerrit highlights the balance between safety and affordability in experimental flying, and how with the right knowledge, it can be a rewarding aviation journey.
