An accomplished dentist in New Rochelle, New York, Dr. Todd Wortman is a fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. Voted by colleagues in the New York State Dental Association as one of the state’s top dentists for three consecutive years, Dr. Todd Wortman spends his free time fulfilling his lifelong dream of learning to fly a helicopter. Flying a helicopter is an exhilarating experience, and attaining a helicopter pilot’s license is a notable achievement. To be eligible for a helicopter private pilot’s license, you must be at least 17 years old, speak, read, and write English, and have US citizenship or receive approval from the Transportation Security Administration. The training requirements include a minimum of 40 hours of total flight time at an approved training operator, including a minimum of 30 hours of training with a certified flight instructor, and 10 hours of solo flight. You also must pass a series of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) tests, including a medical exam, a written test, and a practical flight test. After completing these FAA requirements, you can attain a private pilot certificate with a helicopter class rating and a rotorcraft category rating. The total cost of ground and flight training and exams is typically around $40,000.00. If you’re interested in an aviation career, helicopter pilots are needed in a variety of fields, including law enforcement, fire fighting, news and traffic reporting, crop spraying, search and rescue operations, and tourism, among others.
