On average to get a top job, you will need at least 1000 hours to pilot a helicopter. For private helicopters on average between 50-55 hours is sufficient. The more hours; the better.

Helicopter pilots must receive a special helicopter license. Obtaining this license requires at least 40 hours of practice flying as well as classes. Anyone wanting to become a helicopter pilot should expect to pay at least 15,000 dollars for training costs.
Military chopper experience is a plus.

Flight training, mostly; you need a commercial helicopter pilot's license. The company you want to fly for will also have requirements that are, usually, higher than the FAA's.
There are minimums but the time it actually takes varies from person to person. For a plane most peopel need 50-80 hours. For a helicopter 20-30 hours is more the norm.
It is a federal law you need 40 hours of total flight time, and at least 20 hours of instruction and 10 hours of solo flight
A commercial helicopter can hold up to 200 gallons of fuel. How much it needs to run depends on how far the trip is and depends on how much weight it is carrying in passengers, luggage/freight, plus pilot / co-pilot.
You need to be a top jet pilot, and you should have had so many hours flying jets.You should have good health and eyesight.
You cannot aquire a pilot licence in Grand Theft Auto IV, all you need to do is locate a helicopter and then enter it. Caution: If you are getting a helicopter from the Francis International Airport, I advise you do so quickly as the NOOSE (SWAT) are dispatched to take you out for trespassing (4 stars)
Taking the classes and passing all the tests. Plus you need the flight time for practice.
Usually only one, but in some helicopters, two people are recommended. ----------------------------- Well, one person can pretty much do the job, but in the USA and Canada it often requires both a pilot and a co-pilot. Helicopters, unlike airplanes, can never be left alone (they don't have autopilot systems), making it important to have a backup pilot if the pilot in command is no longer able to fly.
