Training with HelicopterAcademy.com! Cheapest Training in the World! |

For $30,000 US we will take you from zero hours to your
Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate and 300 hours. You are 99% certain to be given a corporate
pilot job with a photo company that we have a contract with and being paid
$20 per hour for flying. We
know of no better deal in the world for inexpensive and quality helicopter
training. You need to be light in
weight. You need to be able to have
the money available in $10,000 blocks or finance through a lender that lends
to you and allows FAR Part 61 instruction (not GI Bill, Sallie Mae or Key Bank which
requires 141 college classroom type instruction). You will get 300 hours in
the R22 helicopter for $30,000. This includes all the instruction time you
need for your Private (40 hours) and Commercial Certificate (150 hours) and of
course we know it will take more than the minimums and it’s all
included. Once you get your Commercial
Certificate and can manipulate the controls for commercial work you’ll
build up the remaining hours that will make you insurable.
You’ll be working for our firm as a contract pilot that operates
helicopters for contract for a well known photographic business. Our Florida locations have helicopters in Ft Lauderdale, Ft Myers, Jacksonville, Miami and West Palm
Beach for the winter and we have helicopters in Annapolis, West Houston, Cleveland,
Jacksonville, Newport, Pensacola the summer. We can train you year
round in any of these cities. Our helicopters are maintained by factory
trained mechanics and flown by factory trained Certified Flight Instructors.
The money isn't paid up front, rather along the way in $10,000 increments. We
will also help you find affordable accommodations in the area particularly in

Most schools train you to pass your certification exams. We not only give you this training, but also train you to perform “real world” commercial work. We can train you faster, better and cheaper than anyone as we have a fleet of helicopters and flight instructors for ready to train you. Our instructors are anxious and happy to train you under FAA Part 61 in preparation for a job. We will know you can perform the job because we will have trained you. |

We only hire from within. After about 150 hours of instruction, training and your Commercial Helicopter Certificate we’ll incorporate you as a photographer on photo missions that we are contracted for. As you will be able to manipulate the controls as a Commercial Helicopter Certificated pilot you’ll work your way up to 300 hours and , give you a job and you'll begin some serious flight-time building as a corporate pilot for us. It doesn't get any better than this anywhere because we're the end user, the company that actually employs pilots. Training and hiring from within allows us to maintain a perfect safety record in our photography business. |

Time-building for Commercial Helicopter Pilots only $100 per hour: |
|
|
Already a Commercial Helicopter Pilot? You have probably come
to the realization that you need more than the minimum hours to be flying a
real corporate helicopter. If you are
to instruct in an R22 you 200 hours for SFAR73 and perhaps 300 hours for insurance
requirements. This program can help. This is a time-building package in 50 hour
increments. No training. No Autos. You get real world commercial
experience for only $100 per hour. You will be flying with another Commercial
Helicopter Pilot that is working on contract photography for a photo company.
The photo company pays the additional money and you get to log to takeoff, flying
and landing as |

No matter which program you choose, you will be required to work a little bit learning photography as a contract with a photography company makes these prices possible. Once you demonstrate a level of proficiency in photography you will begin flying photo missions in helicopters. Flight training is also available at market rates and will be provided weekdays at those rates while photo missions will occur on the weekends. |

Our training program is designed to help students advance in the field of aviation. However, the reality of flying helicopters is that it's not for everyone. If you should fall into this very small group and we decide not to continue your flight training, a prorated portion of the money you paid us will be refunded. |

Our contracted pilots are averaging 50-100 hours per month in a variety of exciting locations. Schools generally employ instructors that instruct locally, while we employ contracted pilots and instructors that fly regional photo missions, giving them valuable, diverse experience. You will be interacting with people already employed in the helicopter business (pilots, mechanics, managers, photographers, printers, computer people, attorneys and secretaries that know the flying business). If you have questions about careers and jobs, don't speculate or ask someone who has a limited, local experience. Ask an someone from our company who will give you a perspective after placing dozens of pilots. We've seen plenty of helicopter schools go out of business since our company was founded in 1981 and suggest you spend your money carefully. We do it better, faster and cheaper than anyone. Under contracts, we fly 52 weekends a year taking pictures from sunup to sundown and fly thousands of hours a year. You've found the fast track in the helicopter world as we're an operator that is training you to become a contract pilot for us! |
