More operators now want pilots who can fly more than one kind of aircraft, and powered-lift raises the stakes. eVTOL air taxis take off like helicopters and cruise like airplanes. The FAA now offers a path to a powered-lift rating for experienced airplane and helicopter pilots. A pilot trained in both understands every phase of that flight, which puts them ahead for the first powered-lift jobs. Those jobs are heading to Long Beach and LA, planned vertiport sites for the LA28 Olympics. Earning both ratings under one roof gives you that head start.
