Helicopter Flight Training

Excellence and First Class Service

The adventure of flying begins with your private pilot's license. With this license you can venture out into the world of aviation. Whether you plan to fly for fun, give rides to friends and family, provide yourself with transportation, or simply build time and experience for future ratings, it all begins with the private certificate.

While achieving the private license, you will receive instruction in the basic operations of an helicopter. Although some people try to finish much of the ground training before they start flying, we feel that the best approach is to integrate the ground training with the flight training. You will be in the cockpit from day one getting hands-on practical experience. Ground training will cover diverse topics such as airport operations, radio procedures, weather, navigation, and more.

The first major goal for you is to fly the helicopter solo. During your solo flight training you will learn maneuvers such as emergency procedures and takeoffs and landings, as well as how to operate safely at a tower-controlled airport. The first solo flight is an experience that is never forgotten. After solo, you will move onto more advanced lessons covering areas such as night and cross-country flying.

During the final stage of training, you will sharpen and polish your skills in preparation for the practical examination (check ride) conducted by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) designated examiner. Upon successful completion of the practical examination, you will be issued a private license.

 

How to get started

Getting started on your flying adventure is easy.  The first step is to take an introductory lesson. There is no obligation! Just call us to schedule your first lesson.  We understand pilots, and what it takes to be a pilot, like no one else.

Rest assured.  We'll walk you through the program step-by-step, from your first lesson to your license.  At our school you'll know exactly what your spending and why.

  • To schedule an Introductory Lesson call: (270) 826-6000

    Initial flying lessons typically take about 2 hours (about 1 hour for pre- and post-flight briefing, and about 1 hour of actual flying time).  You will obtain hands-on flying experience your very first lesson.
