Private Pilot Add-on |
A Private Pilot Helicopter rating entitles you to fly recreationally or for business purposes, but you cannot fly "for hire" (be paid to fly). Our Private Pilot Add-on Helicopter course additionally includes 10 hours of ground instruction in our training facility. You'll learn all the aspects of flight that you need to be a safe pilot and pass the FAA examinations, including: aerodynamics; how to interact with Air Traffic Control; how to understand weather; and how to plan flights.
