This comes off as horoscope to me. Both those sets of qualities match me. But I'm a trucker who listens to multiple hour video essays while long hauling. Leaning towards helicopter.
im about to go down the heli route. Ngl, the thought of flying in an r22 until i get my hours up scares the sh*t outta me. is it something that you get used to?
Hi Jordan! The R22 is a popular training craft (We have one that our Aircraft Maintenance students use for training!). Our students get most of their helicopter training in the bigger cousin of the R22, the R44 (along with training in our larger Bell helicopters). In regards to the R44, we have found that students start getting more comfortable once they get into the 10+ hour mark, but that will vary depending on the student.
Planning on coming here next year to get a bachelors for the one that has emphasis on Rotor-Wing. Is there only one set degree plan? Or can I pick my electives and minors? Because I would also like to do some psychology or maybe even astrophysics
I like airplanes, because when the next major financial crisis hits, my name probably won't get mentioned in any of the documentaries about what happened. Or to put it another way, I'm too poor for helicopters.
@@jayasmrmore3687 Yes, but last time I looked at rental rates in my area, a plane was $150/hr and a helicopter was $250/hr. Getting my fixed-wing PPL was already ruinously expensive; I simply am not rich enough to fly helicopters. Of course both CAN swallow unlimited money, up to and including buying your own F-16. Fixed-wing just has a lower first rung.

@Austin Hill, most schools won’t cover PPL. The one I’m at does. I’m currently earning my rotary PPL with the GI Bill at Sinclair College in Dayton, OH. Hit me up if you have any questions.
I agree with everything you said minus that airplane pilots are more academic I believe it takes alot more brainpower and intelligence to fly a helicopter vs a plane. But everything else was very good 👍🏼
@@zipper978 It takes a lot more brain power to understand the helicopter aerodynamics vs fixed wing. I am a commercial fixed wing pilot, and rotary fluid dynamics is simply on another level.
Im currently in college right now and graduate in 2023 but i might consider coming here. I just cant decide between helicopter or airplane. I definitely“type a” personality but love to travel, ant recommendations?
That’s great! You won’t be able to receive a license until you’re 17 years old, but we recommend taking an intro flight or two to get some time in the aircraft. As for now, continue to do well in school, so that when you’re ready to start applying, you’ll be in the best position as possible.
Hey Jeffrey, in order to fly in the United States, you’ll need approval from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). You’ll also need to live here, in Utah, for the flight training. If you’d like more information on that, you can contact us at aviation@suu.edu or at 435-586-7862
Hey Justin, tuition costs will vary depending on a number of factors. It’ll change if you’re in-state or out-of-state, as well as what scholarships you qualify for. Here’s the link to our admissions page where you can find the different cost breakdowns. www.suu.edu/admissions/
Helicopters are more expensive to fly and maintain, that's why training to fly them is a little more expensive. At SUU there is not that great of a difference in the cost of each.
@JustAnotherTowerClimber Well, I just interviewed for a job that required 500 hours and paid $15 bucks an hour, and he told me that 40 people applied for that one slot. If you have over 2,000-3,000 hours I hear you can make a decent living, and there do seem to be a ton more HEMS jobs than pilots if you have the hours. Entry level pilots though, are a dime a dozen. So competition is fierce, jobs are scarce, and pay is low,...way low!
@JustAnotherTowerClimber If the school who trains you hires you as a flight instructor, then you teach your way to 1,000, then try to get an entry level turbine job flying tours (also very competative) and do that until you have 2,000-3,000 hours. If they don't hire you? You get in your car and drive all over the country trying to convince every single flight school you find that you are a better choice than the other 300 guys they've interviewed.
“Airplane pilots tend to be very very smart individuals. “ *helicopter it is*
😂😂
Helicopter helicopter
Exactly what I thought! 🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
"Helicopter pilots tend to drive motorcycles and trucks..." Pegged me 100%, gave me a good chuckle. 😁
There's a reason our parking lot is full of those 😆
Same
I choose both! Because I can and I refuse to let anyone say otherwise!
You summarized me in the helicopter pilot profile 100%. It was almost scary.
This comes off as horoscope to me. Both those sets of qualities match me. But I'm a trucker who listens to multiple hour video essays while long hauling. Leaning towards helicopter.
I am also a trucker leaning towards the choppa
What are some of the essays you watch ?
Airplanes have more safety protocols, so if your picking helicopter your delusional.
Trucker gang!
Gang!
Just do both

That feeling goes away quickly. The R22 is a safe and fun ship to fly once you learn how to make it do what you want.

There are a certain set amount of courses to complete the degree, but as for the electives, they’re yours to choose!
how is being a airline pilot for the airport diffrent vs helicopter pilot ?
What is fixed wing and rotary wing
Fixed wing = airplanes, rotor wing = helicopters ☺
An airplane pilot is like a guitar or keys guys in a band. But helicopter pilot is like a drummer.
Love it haha
I like airplanes, because when the next major financial crisis hits, my name probably won't get mentioned in any of the documentaries about what happened. Or to put it another way, I'm too poor for helicopters.
Planes can be expensive too
@@jayasmrmore3687 Yes, but last time I looked at rental rates in my area, a plane was $150/hr and a helicopter was $250/hr.

Helicopter is much much better .....Thanks
Does the G.I. Bill pay for the private license in your program? I know a lot don’t.

V-22 Ospreys are... better than both!?
Perhaps
I agree with everything you said minus that airplane pilots are more academic I believe it takes alot more brainpower and intelligence to fly a helicopter vs a plane. But everything else was very good 👍🏼
Very true, both take a lot of intelligence and focus!
It doesnt take more brain power. It takes more technical skill
@@zipper978 It takes a lot more brain power to understand the helicopter aerodynamics vs fixed wing. I am a commercial fixed wing pilot, and rotary fluid dynamics is simply on another level.
@@VictoryAviation I’m also a commercial pilot and I’ve flown both helicopters and fixed wing
@@zipper978 Nice. I’m just now getting into rotary. The final goal is aerial cinematography for feature films!
Im currently in college right now and graduate in 2023 but i might consider coming here. I just cant decide between helicopter or airplane. I definitely“type a” personality but love to travel, ant recommendations?
If you want to see the world become an airline pilot
Now have a fixed wing pilot from SUU do the same video with his bias 😆
That’s what I’m saying. 😂
We can't hear
work airplane and helicopter
yes or no?
please tell me
yeah spot on when I heard probably a biker, the thrill demands lifestyle. but until you join the Navy or airforce
I'm in 7th grade and I always knew I want to be pilot flying helicopters and also I want to come here any advice
That’s great! You won’t be able to receive a license until you’re 17 years old, but we recommend taking an intro flight or two to get some time in the aircraft. As for now, continue to do well in school, so that when you’re ready to start applying, you’ll be in the best position as possible.
Staying out of trouble is the best thing you can do for yourself at this point
Erhh, i fly em both.. How it works
Hi...can anyone please tell if a non US citizen can join SUU?? If yes what is the difference in fee structure and other formalities
Hey Jeffrey, in order to fly in the United States, you’ll need approval from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). You’ll also need to live here, in Utah, for the flight training. If you’d like more information on that, you can contact us at aviation@suu.edu or at 435-586-7862
Airplane is better

Terrified of planes, love helicopters, glad we’re the dumb ones ^•^
Which can build flight hours faster?
They are similar and it is more important to choose the aircraft you will enjoy flying more.
@@SUUAviation Can you fly with the big airlines with 1500 helicopter hours?
Some operations require 1000 hours while other require more, it depends on the job and the company.
What kind of license do you need to fly vtol aircraft? Like the v22 Osprey?
Both I think helicopter and a plane pilot lisence
Better be making a TON to have both
The background music is kinda distracting..
How much does Tution cost overall

Can I learn how to do both ?
If you put your mind to it but it's gonna be hella pricy
Helicopter 🚁 pilots don't fight on ATC radio not like some other people lol
I heard helicopter training cost like 3X more than airplane training.
Helicopters are more expensive to fly and maintain, that's why training to fly them is a little more expensive. At SUU there is not that great of a difference in the cost of each.
The speaker of this video is a tad bit disappointing. Very repetitive with "similar but different" line.
TYPE A FTW! 🚁
Helicopter pilots comit 💯 to the craft
While fixed wingers do not
Please explain
First xd
,
Helicopters for fun, airplanes for a career. The opinion of a non "Type-A" helicopter pilot.
Both are great options and a lot of fun, it all depends on what career fits your lifestyle the best.
@JustAnotherTowerClimber Well, because helicopter jobs are much harder to get,...especially if you want one that pays more than a burger flipper.
@JustAnotherTowerClimber Well, I just interviewed for a job that required 500 hours and paid $15 bucks an hour, and he told me that 40 people applied for that one slot.
If you have over 2,000-3,000 hours I hear you can make a decent living, and there do seem to be a ton more HEMS jobs than pilots if you have the hours.
Entry level pilots though, are a dime a dozen. So competition is fierce, jobs are scarce, and pay is low,...way low!
@JustAnotherTowerClimber If the school who trains you hires you as a flight instructor, then you teach your way to 1,000, then try to get an entry level turbine job flying tours (also very competative) and do that until you have 2,000-3,000 hours.
If they don't hire you? You get in your car and drive all over the country trying to convince every single flight school you find that you are a better choice than the other 300 guys they've interviewed.
@JustAnotherTowerClimber Anyone's guess,...I'll let you know if I ever get that many.
So if you dumb get a heli if you smart fly a plane
Got it
You just replied to yourself so see you in heli school 🫡
