Private Pilot Program
The Private Pilot Program is intended for people who may be learning to fly as a hobby, personal business or who are planning to purchase their own aircraft. With your Private Pilot License you are allowed to take family, friends and co-workers on board your aircraft or the aircraft you are renting while acting as Pilot in Command. The only restriction to acting as a Private Pilot is you are not allowed by the FAA to be compensated for your skills. You must carry a Commercial Rating for compensation for hire.
Instrument Rating Program
An Instrument Rating is a rating that is added to a Private Pilot or Commercial Pilot License and refers to the qualifications that a pilot must have in order to fly under Instrument Flight Rules or IFR. The instrument rating teaches you how to fly in fog, clouds, and limited visibility. You will develop the judgment to evaluate adverse weather conditions and the ability to maneuver the helicopter by reference to instruments. In addition to increasing your capabilities as a helicopter pilot, the instrument rating also enhances your confidence and safety.
Commercial Pilot Program
The commercial pilot program is for helicopter pilots who wish to continue their flight training to gain increased proficiency or to become a professional Helicopter Pilot or Certificated Flight Instructor.
CFI
This program is designed for a student who holds a Commercial Pilot Certificate with a helicopter rating. During this course, the student will acquire the skills and knowledge required to successfully complete the Certified Flight Instructor practical test administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A student with a Flight Instructor Certificate is eligible for employment as a helicopter flight instructor, the most common entry-level position in the helicopter industry.
CFII
This program is designed for a student who already holds an Instrument Rating in helicopters as well as a Flight Instructor Certificate with a helicopter rating. During this course, the student will develop all of the skills necessary to successfully complete the Instrument Instructor Practical Test administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This course prepares the student to provide instrument instruction in a helicopter.
