With your Private Pilot Certificate you are licensed to take family, friends and co-workers on board your aircraft or the aircraft you are renting while acting as Pilot in Command.
The Commercial Pilot Certificate is for private helicopter pilots who wish to continue their helicopter pilot training. Gain the ability for employment as a pilot and increased proficiency on your private pilot training and learn more advanced maneuvering skills.
Instrument Rating Certification is for 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.
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.
As an Instrument Flight Instructor, you can begin your flying career by teaching others to fly by instruments for their initial IFR ratings, additional IFR ratings, and ATP ratings as well as conducting instrument proficiency checks. The CFII training program is designed to incorporate the teaching of aeronautical knowledge and the practical application of that knowledge to in-flight training.

ABOUT OUR COURSE
Classic Helicopter conducts flight training under Part 141 and Part 61 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Part 141 flight training is highly structured. The FAA reviews and approves each Part 141 training course and syllabus. Training is divided into stages that dictate specific goals and the rate of student progression. Because the FAA standardizes the training, a student can predict and prepare for lessons throughout the training course. If the regular instructor is unavailable, any Classic Helicopter instructor can substitute without retracing previously covered material. Students coming to the United States on a student visa, or those utilizing veteran benefits or the Alaska Student Loan Program may only enroll in Part 141 courses.
