TESTIMONIALS
My little brother John Howell is the best pilot ever!! And the other guys are pretty cool too!! Thanks for an awesome experience!!
My dad and I had a great experience! First time in a helicopter and Chris was a great tour guide! Such a fun time!
Here at Higher Ground Helicopters, we hold our students to a much higher standard than that set by the FAA. In doing this we find our students have a much higher first-time pass ratio than most schools and are building a reputation for producing a higher level of pilot to enter the helicopter industry. We also hold our ground schools in groups allowing more interaction with the students. The ground school is held at night ranging from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM or 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM two to three nights a week. This, we find, allows more of the working individuals to keep their full-time jobs and attend our school full time getting them done in a timely manner. This saves the students money and allows them to complete the program and enter the workforce quicker, which is our real objective. Higher Ground Helicopters hires its top student to replace their CFIs that move up to the next level in their career. In doing this we keep a constant flow of new CFIs and are hiring CFIs on a regular base, which is a great opportunity for you the student.
We are a pt.141 School associated with Sinclair Community College. They offer possible financing or grants if you are a student going for the degree program. Students can get an Associate’s or Bachelor Degree which will help in your future as a professional pilot. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Q: What separates Higher Ground Helicopters from other similar training facilities?
A: Higher Ground Helicopters’ Complete Professional Helicopter Career Program provides the student with all the necessary flight and ground training required to be employable as a helicopter pilot at one complete price.
Most flight schools only sell their programs at the FAA minimums which normally result in students incurring increased cost to complete. Our programs cover everything from the books to the final check rides giving our students a complete understanding of costs from day one.
Most flight schools only take students to the minimum to get their Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) rating. Our program takes the student to 200 hours of total flight time at 90% education standard, making them employable immediately upon completion.
Most flight schools only offer ground school on a one on one basis increasing student costs. Our program offers a group ground school, decreasing cost and increasing uniformity of our training program.
