We write you a visa, pick you up at the
Miami Airport and show you to cheap housing near the training airport.
If you have a commercial airplane rating you can get a FAA commercial
helicopter rating in as little as 50 hours (50 hours x $300/hour = $15,000).
If you have no experience it will be a minimum of 150 hours (150 hours
x $300/hour = $45,000). Medical exam is about $100 and checkrides about $500. Simple stuff. If you have a
private helicopter rating and need to build more hours we have a great
timebuilding program where you fly on a photo contract with an instructor at
the rate of $150/hour where you pay for petroleum.
If you are an airplane pilot from any country we will take
you to the FAA and convert that license to an FAA license and start flying
right away. Call 561-346-2816 and we will discuss this.
We provide the following flight training opportunities:
Private Pilot
Certificate
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 Certificate 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. Learn

Instrument
Rating
The instrument rating course is for private helicopter pilots who wish
to enhance their flying skills and learn more about navigation, weather and
the air traffic control system. It is also for commercial pilots who want to
gain a competitive edge in the job market, and meet the employment
requirements of many EMS, offshore and corporate operators. Learn more

Certified
Flight Instructor
You'll most likely need this to get a job. This course is for pilots who hold a commercial pilot certificate with a
helicopter rating and wish to obtain a flight instructor certificate. A flight
instructor certificate allows a pilot to give flight instruction and to endorse
the logbooks of others. This program is highly recommended to maximize employment
potential. Your first job will likely be an instructor as these
are the easiest jobs to obtain. You will most likely need 300
hours total time in helicopters for these positions as that is the threshold
most helicopter insurance policies require. Our program assumes you have 300
hours helicopter time with 100 hours flying from the left seat after you get
your commercial pilot certificate.
