For $60,000 we'll take you from zero to 300 hours and your commercial helicopter license (includes private)  as you pay for the first 200 hours at $250/hour, the second 100 hours for $200/ hour and the third 100 hours for $150/hour flying on a photo contract (this nets to $200 per hour for 300 hours).   Add the instructors rating (CFI) for $5000 and we'll  give you a job like we have to every graduate since January 1986.  You'll be a contract pilot at $20 an hour getting back $14,000 for the 700 hours you work for us before getting hired at about $52,000 a year flying a turbine helicopter flying to oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.  If you don't have $65,000 available in your checking account click on this credit application with a co-borrower  credit application.   Here are some tips for the loan application that you'll need:

*  "15" year term for financing to lower your payment and make it easier to qualify

* "enrollment" period will "begin" a month from today and "end" four months from today. 

* "total amount requested" and "tuition" is the amount you need to get to 300 hours and CFI, usually $65,00 less the hours that you already have flown.

* "additional expenses" will increase the difficulty of getting a loan

* "interest only" and "deferred payments' don't have any weight on whether a loan is approved and you'll probably want to defer the payments until you have a good job with good income to repay the loan.

*You and your co-borrower will need to supply proof of income like W-2's , 1040's or paycheck stubs before the bank will give you final approval.  It helps if you are eager to help the bank.

The online credit application takes you and up to one co-borrower.  Type in your information and income and have your co-borrower type in their information and income.     The bank adds your income and the co-borrowers income and come up with the total income.  If this is not enough you will need a third person on the loan and this might get you approval.  If you get denied with just the one co-borrower, then the bank will  have you fax in an application for the third borrower as the website only takes two borrowers.    If you have any questions call the bank or cal us for clarification of how this loan process works at 317-730-2940.  If you get a denial letter it might come with "counter offer" from the bank for a lower amount and with a co-borrower application.  Find another person to co-borrow for you and fax in the additional application to the bank.

 

We know it will take more than the minimum of 150 hours to become a hirable and insurable helicopter pilot and that's why our program takes you to 300 hours with the discounted $200 our rate for choosing our school over newer competitors. The FAA might require 150 hours for a commercial license but we don’t know of any jobs at this threshold. We have a huge contract for a huge photo company taking pictures of boats. Once you get your Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate and 300 hours with us, we'll give you an independent contractor position which will be your first job on the ladder to 1000 hours pilot in command when you'll then fly a turbine helicopter and make about $52,00 a year. 

 

Our helicopters are maintained by our factory trained mechanics (we are an Robinson Service Center) and flown by factory trained Certified Flight Instructors. We do not require the whole $65,000 upfront as it is paid along the way in four $15,000 payments and one $5,000 for the instructors course when you begin that.. We will also help you find affordable accommodations which are generally $150 per week right across from the airport. 

 

 

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 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'll encourage you to get your Instructor's Rating which is about $5000 so you can teach others for us and other will want to fly with you.   We'll encourage you to get your Helicopter Instrument Rating at some point which is about $10,000 as the employers that will pay you to fly a bigger helicopter might require it also.

 

If a school is offering you 200 hours for $70,000 do the math and realize that this is $350 per hour.  We’re $200 per hour and the best value in the world! There is a weight restriction of 180 pounds.

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 for which we are contracted. As you will be sharing Pilot in Command duties (sole manipulator of the controls) once you are a Commercial Helicopter pilot you'll quickly work your way up to 300 hours on this photo contract. Then we will give you a contract position and you'll work on a photo contact for us making $20 per hour or you can work for most anyone if you get your Instructor's rating (as described in the previous paragraph)

 

Already a Private Helicopter Pilot and wish to join our school that will take you to 300 hours and a likely contract pilot position?

Complete training from Private Helicopter Pilot Certificate to Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate and 300 hours total time for $25,000, plus avgas + oil (about $50 per hour) . If you already have your Private Helicopter Pilot Certificate, this is the package for you as it will get you to 300 rotorcraft hours which is generally the threshold where insurance policies say you can fly, rather than the 150 hours the FAA lists as a minimum. We not only give you the flight training for your Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate, we give you valuable PIC time to get you to the commercial level faster and cheaper than other places and for a set fee. Also, you will be offered a contract pilot position when you get your commercial certificate. We'll take you from your private certificate to your Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate for this set fee regardless of how many hours you'll need. As we will have finished your training, you'll  get a contract pilot position with us when your reach your Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate as we will know you and your flying abilities. We'll help you with inexpensive housing (about $150 per week) with some of our other pilots.

 

Time-building for Commercial Helicopter Pilots only $150 per hour plus fuel:

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. In order to give R22 flight instruction SFAR 73 requires 200 hours total time; that might even increase to 300 hours for insurance requirements including our policy. This program can help. This is a time-building package that we suggest in 50 hour increments. No training. No autorotations. Only $150/hour plus fuel for real world commercial experience. You will be team-flying with a company CFI pilot doing contract photography for a photo company. You, as PIC, get to log the takeoffs, the flying time, and the landings.
