Helicopter Pilot Training
Hillsboro Aviation has offered helicopter flight training since 1980, and our graduates are flying all around the world. Whether you are interested in EMS, firefighting, external load, transport or other types of exciting jobs, Hillsboro Aviation has the helicopter training and experience to meet your needs.
Hillsboro Aviation is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-approved flight training school. This approval allows us to conduct flight training under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 61 and Part 141. We have 32 training helicopters. The training fleet is primarily made up of Robinson helicopters and Bell helicopters. The models include Robinson R22, Robinson R44, Schweizer 300CB, Bell JetRanger, Bell LongRanger, Bell 407 and Bell 205. We also train our students on the latest flight simulation technology. Our flight simulators are an integral part of our helicopter pilot training program.
Our aircraft are maintained to the highest standards, and our instructors are dedicated to providing the highest quality instruction available. Students receive individualized instruction in a one-on-one environment with their instructors.
We are located in the beautiful northwestern United States 15 miles west of Portland, Oregon. Hillsboro is close to the city, the ocean and the mountains. Because of this, our helicopter flight training allows you to navigate all types of topography. We also experience many types of weather conditions, which is why our graduates excel as pilots after they leave our school. Learning to fly in challenging weather is a critical part of becoming a well-rounded helicopter pilot. This experience will prepare you for the rest of your career.
Airman’s Proficiency Center (APC) is a division of Hillsboro Aviation, Inc. and is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC).
