It does not take fewer hours to become a helicopter pilot. For a private pilot it is a minimum of 40 hours for both according to FAR Part 61.109. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[oceanrose22]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2009 11:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gisele Bundchen On Her Way To Helicopter Pilot License]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yes even though it's true that FAR MINIMUMS are roughly 40 hours (35 now i think), actual time to complete is very different. F/W usually takes about 45-60 hours and R/W about 35-45 hours for private. A four pack (Private, Instrument, Commercial, CFI) will rope a F/W pilot about 250 hours and a R/W pilot about 170.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Deej]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 7th 2009 1:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gisele Bundchen On Her Way To Helicopter Pilot License]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</guid><description><![CDATA[So what!

Here comes Giseleeeeeeeeeeee.  She should stick to modeling and being around to be a mother to her children.  I don't see a need for her to do that.  She obviously has to much time on her hands.  Go to a football game dear.  Tis the season!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tinroofrustedfr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 3:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gisele Bundchen On Her Way To Helicopter Pilot License]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why should she stick to modeling and being a mother, while trying nothing new? I'm a nurse and a mother of a handicapped child and 2 years ago got my private pilot license (for fixed wing) because it was something I'd wanted to do. Should I have just stuck with taking care of my patients and family and done nothing else that I wanted to do? Why? Congrats girl!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[beachqueennc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 6:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gisele Bundchen On Her Way To Helicopter Pilot License]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good for her.

I have both fixed wing and helicopter ratings and I could not remember the requirements being any different. I will say that most people will need more flight hours to pass a helicopter check ride than a check ride in an airplane. Very few people are ready for their private rotorcraft checkride in the FAA's required minimum of 40-hours. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Coop]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 2:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gisele Bundchen On Her Way To Helicopter Pilot License]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</guid><description><![CDATA[Seems like all these famous women are following in the steps of Angelina Jolie. First, with the adoption thing- very few were adopting children who wern't from the U.S. until she started adopting children from other countries. Now you have Maddona,Meg Ryan etc. adopting kids from other countries-nothing wrong with that but I believe she set the trend(which is a good thing). Now the pilot license thing. I believe she started that trend as well. Nothing wrong with it-just an observation......]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[flwrskmbrly88]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 4:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gisele Bundchen On Her Way To Helicopter Pilot License]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am a helicopter instructor (former U.S. Army) with almost 7,000 hours.  I think that ANYONE who wants to and has the money to get the training should go for it.  It is not easy, but it's worth it!  To the person who said she doesn't "need" to do it - what do you know?  The minimum flight hour requirements for a private (or commercial) license are the same for fixed wing as they are for rotary wing.  What determines success is the individual skill.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SkyGod!]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 4:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gisele Bundchen On Her Way To Helicopter Pilot License]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you truly didn't care you wouldn't have read the article and posted a comment!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lundindana]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 7:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gisele Bundchen On Her Way To Helicopter Pilot License]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh boy, I should not have read this on my way to happy hour with my stoner buddies.

Go flying! We need all the GA pilots we can get. Just for the uninformed, it only costs about $4000 to get a private rating. Also, a good two seat airplane can be had less than 20K.

Really, I am incredibly suprised at the instructor with 7000 hrs flight time from the (US Army) who would actually condone such incredibly risky behavior. She is at a pregnancy point where many physical factors could come into play that could affect her performance let alone the safety of not only her and her child let alone the instructor, but other innocent bystandards as well. Sorry Capt, this isn't war where we need such heroics as an 8 month pregnant woman showing the world whats she's got........ No fuckin brains is whats she's got!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bawannajack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 7th 2009 3:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Gisele Bundchen On Her Way To Helicopter Pilot License]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/11/05/gisele-bundchen-on-her-way-to-helicopter-pilot-license/</guid><description><![CDATA[Biggest problem with helicopters is they have their ups and downs.
