Great experience learning to fly helicopter. Tough gig, but nice challenge and very different activity.
In order to provide you with an authentic helicopter pilot experience, we have combined a mini simulation course with a hands-on helicopter flight. Our simulation course utilizes the Elite TH100 Helicopter Advanced Aircraft Training Device (AATD), the only simulator in the area, with real life helicopter flight training. The combination of AATD and helicopter flight will help you learn the basic fundamentals of helicopter operations and safety. After using the AATD you will understand the different controls, their purpose, as well as have a clear comprehension of the format for the ride in the aircraft itself. All of the flight time you accumulate on your demo flight will count toward your helicopter license requirements. After the flight, our knowledgeable staff will offer you more information on how to go about your future helicopter flight training.
