$250 PER HOUR R22 HELICOPTER TRAINING TIME BARGAIN and we are the ONLY company in the world that can guarantee you a job.  We operate a fleet of helicopters for training and photography and like other schools our insurance requires 300 hours helicopter time and an instructor's rating to fly for us. We train you to work for us and offer a job to all graduates, including transfer student and instructors who can't get jobs elsewhere.

For $60,000 we'll  take you from zero to 300 hours and your commercial helicopter license as you pay for the first 100 hours at $250/hr, the second 100 hours at $200/hr and the third  100 hours at $150/hr. This $200 average is easily the cheapest in the world. It's  $25,000 for the first 100 hours where you'll do mostly training, $20,000 for hours 100  through 200 where we'll introduce you to our photo contract which will subsidize your flying and $15,000 for hours 200 through 300 where you'll do almost exclusively photo and will learn this skill that is valuable to our photo contract and making you a valuable pilot to us.   credit application   You'll need to opt for the instructors rating (CFI) for $5000 and we'll  give you a job like we have to every graduate since our founding in January 1986.  We have been in seamless operation with the same owner and manager and now have a fleet of 25 properly maintained helicopters.   The total for 300 hours, cfi and a job is $65,000.

You can pay by cash or credit.   If you have $65,000 available in your checking account call us to enroll at 561-346-2816 and prepare to make payments in four phased monthly payments.  You are enrolled!  You'll need some money for books, a simple medical exam and some examinations with the FAA, too.

If you have GREAT income and GREAT credit  but don't have the full amount of $65,000 saved up for tuition (but have GREAT income, GREAT credit  and a low debt to income ratio) click on this credit application credit application .  Perhaps you and your family have $30,000 saved up so ask for $35,000?  The less you request the more likely you will be approved. About 1% get approved for the full amount and 99% will get declined. You need to stack up co-borrowers (Mom? Dad?) so that the bank is comfortable lending you the money with your current and previous income as these are income based loans.  You can save time by starting with a co-borrower with the option to have a second or third person as an additional co-borrower.

Helicopter training is one of the MOST expensive educations and is financially rewarding because perhaps 1% can obtain the necessary funds for the training.  You can pay hourly for training but we need to see folks that are financially prepared.  The credit crisis has made getting loans difficult but you many have access to home equity loans or are self funded.  Perhaps your family has a college fund for you and we have college programs, too. .  

Our recent graduates that have accumulated 1000 hours helicopter "pilot in command" time have been receiving offers at $52,000 a year to fly to oil rigs.  They build about 600 hours a year in this "offshore" work and at about 3,000 hours they're reporting salaries of $85,000 a year.  If you seek the highest salary and don't mind being away from your family you will probably top $150,000 a year.   We have placed graduates throughout the industry and the world. 

We offer training in the following Helicopter ratings: Private, Commercial, Flight instructor, Instrument, and Instrument Flight Instructor.
