Experience the excitement of piloting a helicopter with personalized, one-on-one instruction. Whether it’s your first time in the air or you’re training toward a private pilot certificate, this is your opportunity to take the controls and fly over the breathtaking Southern California landscape. In order to provide you with an authentic helicopter pilot experience, we have combined a mini simulation course with a hands-on helicopter flight. Our simulation course utilizes the Elite TH100 Helicopter Advanced Aircraft Training Device (AATD), the only simulator in the area, with real life helicopter flight training.
