We limit our class size in order for our students to receive one on one training so each student can progress individually. This gives the instructor the flexibility to tailor the course based on the students learning requirements. 

Prepare for a Successful Career

As a helicopter pilot each student must meet the following licence requirements: 

  • Must be 18 years of age
  • Obtain a valid Category 1 Medical
  • Achieve 60% or higher on a written exam (CPHEL)
  • Attend 80 hours of ground school instruction
  • Accumulate 100 hours of flight time, of which a minimum 55 hours are dual flight, 35 hours are solo flight
  • A successful flight test
