The FAA requires a minimum of 40 flight hours of instruction, of which at least 20 hours must be with an instructor and 10 hours must be solo. For most student pilots, 50 to 60 hours is more typical. Reaching that level of flight experience will take most people between six months and a year.

Helicopters are more dangerous, according to data from the federal government, with a fatal accident rate of 0.72 per 100,000 flight hours in 2018. But general aviation - like recreational flying - is even more dangerous than that, with a fatal accident rate of more than 1 accident per 100,000 flight hours in 2018.
As new types of helicopter jobs are created, the amount of jobs available goes up and so does the shortage. As more people retire from the industry, more jobs become available. And as more industries start using helicopters, more pilots are needed. There simply aren't enough pilots to fill these openings.
