Helicopter school OK’d

The local civil aviation authority has approved a company in Shanghai to start offering helicopter lessons, local media reported Thursday.

The company, Shanghai Heli General Aviation, is the first in the city to get accredited to provide helicopter training classes.

A course costs about 250,000 yuan ($39,975). It usually takes a training pilot 40 hours of logged flight time to obtain a pilot’s license.

In the past, local helicopter enthusiasts had to go to neighboring provinces to receive training.
