Good morning, Tim. Excellent article. Back in the early 1990s, I too had an opportunity to ride along in a police helicopter — which immediately led me to sign up for transition training and to eventually add the rotorcraft/helicopter rating to my fixed wing Commercial Pilot certificate. A few months later, I also added the helicopter instrument rating. Now, I’m thinking about adding the helicopter rating to my CFII. It all started with my ride in a Bell 206L over Dade County, near Miami, Florida. I was then — and I remain — impressed by the professionalism and dedication of the airborne law enforcement pilots.
