Overview
Whether your goal is to be a career pilot or if you just want to fly for fun, each student pilot begins with the Private Pilot’s license, which permits you to carry passengers. By FAA regulation, private pilots may not operate an aircraft for compensation or hire, although operating expenses may be shared with passengers.

Syllabus
The Private Helicopter Pilot Course will familiarize the student with the helicopter, flight controls and their flight characteristics, the flight environment and a multitude of maneuvers learned over the course of instruction. At the end of the Private Helicopter Pilot Course, you will have acquired the aeronautical knowledge and flight proficiency necessary to be a rated helicopter pilot. For an in-depth look at the syllabus and training environment, we invite you to our school to meet the Chief Flight Instructor.
