Many years ago I was looking to do my helicopter license . I did one hour to try. Costs in Switzerland were 75k for the private license and 120k for the professional .
And then it cost per flying hour in the helicopter are 1k !!!
I had , at the time, also looked into doing it in the US . Much cheaper and faster . The license could partially be converted to a Swiss one, but I would of had to do more more exams to fully convert it ( I can't remember exactly which ones, think it was Radio + night + maybe mountains ?? )
