Private Pilot Certificate for
Helicopters
The
Private Pilot Program is intended for people who may be learning to fly as
a hobby, personal business or who are planning to purchase their own aircraft.
With your Private Pilot Certificate you are allowed to take family, friends and
co-workers on board your aircraft or the aircraft you are renting while acting
as Pilot in Command. The only restriction to acting as a Private Pilot is
you are not allowed by the FAA to be compensated for your skills. You must
carry a Commercial Certificate for compensation for hire.
Testimonial
"I'm an American living in Singapore. I wanted to get
intensive training over winter Holiday and asked HelicopterAcademy to put a
helicopter in Naples, FL for a month and train me. Helicopter Academy was
very accommodating of my scheduling requirements and provided me with very
good training for my helicopter private pilot license."
