Get Your Education Right
The Math is simple
Better equipment
You’ll be trained with some of the most advanced and safe flight training equipment on the market, including our fleet of Robinson R44 helicopters and our Bell 206 Turbine Transition Helicopter.
Accelerated training
With our 2-year program, you’ll be out of training and into your new career faster than the traditional 4-year college flight training route. This is done while still achieving 200 flight hours (the same as a 4-year program). To accomplish this you get to fly twice as often with less waiting between lessons.
