Commercial Helicopter Pilots can be involved in a variety of flying tasks. You might be engaged in regular scheduled flights, on demand charter or Utility work that includes lifting heavy loads to remote areas or high buildings.  Emergency pilots could be involved in search and rescue, fire fighting or medical retrieval operations. You might also find yourself performing aerial photography, advertising, sightseeing, survey or highway patrol.

From personal experience, we can tell you that helicopter flying is an amazingly satisfying experience.  Many helicopter pilots already have fixed wing licences since its a lot cheaper to learn the navigation and communication aspects on an aeroplane first, before transferring to the helicopter to learn how to manipulate the controls. A secondary benefit is that you will then be dual rated.  Very useful!
