Chongqing pilots get license for private use helicopters

Four Chongqing residents were licensed to pilot private helicopters on Nov 9, liangjiang.gov.cn reported.

They are the first licensed pilots in Chongqing. Their helicopters were made by Enstrom Helicopter Corporation, a company in Liangjiang.

A lady surnamed Li, the only woman among the four pilots, learned to fly a helicopter out of personal interest. She is optimistic about the industry’s prospects.

Li says that most private helicopter pilots are rich people who can afford and want to operate a personal helicopter for themselves.

She began her training in January and after obtaining a license for private helicopters, she is now considering a business license. With that license, she may work for aviation companies or clients.
