Frequently asked questions
What total time do operators expect for Robinson R22 positions?
Minimums vary by mission. Many operators start CFIs at 200 hours, with 500–1,000 hours typical for tour and ferry work. Filter listings by experience band on ChopperSwap to see only roles you qualify for.
Are Robinson R22 type ratings funded by employers?
It depends on the market. Established operators in EMS, offshore and SAR typically pay for type ratings and recurrent training as part of the package. Smaller utility, tour and parapublic operators sometimes ask candidates to self-fund or sign a training bond. Each ChopperSwap listing makes this explicit.
Where are most Robinson R22 pilot jobs located?
Demand is global, but density follows fleet location. Tour bases in Hawaii, Las Vegas, the Alps, Iceland and SE Asia, plus utility operators in mountain regions, hire heavily. Use the role × location hubs to drill down.
