HeliSat, Chesterfield

Flying across the country solo is a typical mission for Superman, however, HeliSat’s instructors make this feat accessible to the common man. Their helicopter flight school teaches aspiring pilots aviation fundamentals and maneuvers with hands-on practice, culminating in a solo, cross-country helicopter flight. The high-flying program prepares pilots for the FAA private pilot helicopter check flight. Those studying for the written exam can expand their minds in the ground school program, which covers topics such as helicopter systems and flight computers. The pilots also helm chartered trips for sightseers, and the team of FAA-certified mechanics expertly repair and maintain helicopters suffering ingrown propellers.
