OVERVIEW

About this program.

Hillsboro Heli Academy's FAA Part 141 Professional Helicopter Pilot Program delivers Private (Helicopter), Instrument, Commercial, CFI and CFII ratings in a structured 24-month timeline at Troutdale Airport, Oregon.

Training is delivered on Robinson R22s for primary and intermediate work and Robinson R44 Raven IIs for commercial and instrument flying, with specialised modules in mountain flying, external-load operations and off-airport landings, the kind of operational training that translates directly into careers with air ambulance, aerial firefighting, utility, tourism and law-enforcement operators.

Hillsboro Heli is one of the few US helicopter schools with F-1 visa authorisation enabling students upon completion to gain valuable instructor time as Flight Instructor
