Helicopter AcademyFight School - Helicopter Pilot Training Since 1986

Helicopter Academy provides top quality helicopter training for everyone ranging from private to professional pilots. We are the only helicopter flight school in the world that can guarantee graduates a job.

For just $85,000, you can kickstart an exhilarating journey towards 300 hours of helicopter flight training, leading to your private pilot license, commercial pilot license, and instructor pilot certificate, all in our Robinson R22s. Once you become a Certified Flight Iinstuctor, we’ll offer you a job flying with us! Your initial training hours are priced at $400/hour, but once you earn your private helicoter license, the cost for the remaining flight training hours drops to $300/hour. You can achieve your private pilot license in as little as 40 hours of flight instruction. Once you obtain your private rating, you'll primarily engage in photo flying as pilot in command alongside an instructor, honing a skill that's essential for our photo contracts and enhancing your value as a pilot. As you near 300 flight hours and secure your Commercial pilot certificate, you will need to complete the instructor's rating (CFI) for $6,000. We are committed to providing a job opportunity to every graduating pilot, a tradition we've upheld since our inception in January 1986. Our Career pilot program include 40 hours at $400/hour ($16,000), 260 hours at $300/hour ($78,000), plus the $6,000 for the CFI class, totaling a remarkably low $100,000. Get your Instrument rating for just $15,000! This includes an additional 35 hours in the R22 Glass Cockpit Instrument Trainer, bringing your total flight time to 335 hours in our career program. While we highly recommend this rating, it's not mandatory for employment with us. With consistent management and the same phone number since our inception, we proudly maintain a vast fleet of well-cared-for rotorcraft. Plus, we provide complimentary housing for pilots flying 20 hours or more monthly in the beautiful regions of South Florida, where you can fly every day of the year! If traveling to Florida isn't feasible for you, don’t worry! We can often keep you in your current job and home by bringing an R22 rotorcraft directly to you.  Discover why we stand out among flight schools with our unmatched number of nationwide locations. We’re the only ones who can promise you a job once you fulfill our straightforward insurance criteria of 300 logged flight hours and an instructor rating earned at our school.
