Is it on the helicopter or in the helicopter?
Is it on the helicopter or in the helicopter? So, in a helicopter is correct. We generally say 'in' for small, enclosed modes of transportation where we can't get up and walk around (cars, rowboats, small airplanes). We say 'on' for large, multi-passenger modes of transportation where we can stand up and walk around (buses, ships, large airplanes, trains).
Is it harder to fly a helicopter or a plane?
Generally speaking, it is understood that helicopters are harder to operate as compared to standard light aircraft. While a pilot may be able to undertake long flights in a standard aeroplane and not be all too tired at the end of it, just a few hours of flying a helicopter may be exhausting for some.
Where is the pilot on a helicopter?
As you can see, the right side of the helicopter has a greater lateral CG envelope than the left, which is why the solo pilot always sits on the right.
