Flying Helicopters in Australia

For 2 weeks I spent time training in Maroochydoore, Australia with Becker Helicopters. This commercial flight school was unlike any other school in the states that I encountered. It was a much more aggressive training program with was based in theory and classroom or ground school experience. There were plenty of off airport landing and practice facilities, something that was non-existent at my training school in the states. We worked on long lining and pinnacle/confined area approaches. I never found that my training facility in the United States compared to the program that Becker Helicopter offered.
