ABOUT US
Higher Ground Helicopters is a helicopter flight school that provides helicopter flight training, helicopter tours, rides, and charters to the greater Cincinnati, Ohio area.
Why Train With Us?
At Higher Ground Helicopters, we’re more than a flight school—we’re a launchpad for your aviation career.
We proudly offer both Part 61 and Part 141 training programs, giving students the flexibility to choose the path that fits their goals. Our Part 141 program, offered in partnership with Sinclair Community College, allows you to earn a college degree while completing flight training. For parents, that means their student is not only becoming a pilot but also graduating with a solid academic foundation. For veterans, it means the ability to use VA education benefits without extra out-of-pocket costs—so long as you stay on track.
