Chicago Helicopters provides top quality helicopter training for everyone ranging from private to professional pilots. We are the only helicopter flight school in the world that can guarantee graduates a job.

For just $85,000, you can kickstart an exhilarating journey towards 300 hours of helicopter flight training, leading to your private pilot license, commercial pilot license, and instructor pilot certificate, all in our Robinson R22s. Once you become a Certified Flight Iinstuctor, we’ll offer you a job flying with us! Your initial training hours are priced at $400/hour, but once you earn your private helicoter license, the cost for the remaining flight training hours drops to $300/hour. You can achieve your private pilot license in as little as 40 hours of flight instruction. Once you obtain your private rating, you'll primarily engage in photo flying as pilot in command alongside an instructor, honing a skill that's essential for our photo contracts and enhancing your value as a pilot. As you near 300 flight hours and secure your Commercial pilot certificate, you will need to complete the instructor's rating (CFI) for $6,000. We are committed to providing a job opportunity to every graduating pilot, a tradition we've upheld since our inception in January 1986. Our Career pilot program include 40 hours at $400/hour ($16,000), 260 hours at $300/hour ($78,000), plus the $6,000 for the CFI class, totaling a remarkably low $100,000. Get your Instrument rating for just $15,000! This includes an additional 35 hours in the R22 Glass Cockpit Instrument Trainer, bringing your total flight time to 335 hours in our career program. While we highly recommend this rating, it's not mandatory for employment with us. With consistent management and the same phone number since our inception, we proudly maintain a vast fleet of well-cared-for rotorcraft. Discover why we stand out among flight schools with our unmatched number of nationwide locations. We’re the only ones who can promise you a job once you fulfill our straightforward insurance criteria of 300 logged flight hours and an instructor rating earned at our school. Visit our video page now to experience a cockpit view of the flying adventures that await you. Please note that you'll pay a medical doctor for their services and FAA examiners directly for the practical flight test.

This is a great synopsis of what you will get to see while training to become a professional helicopter pilot at Helicopter Academy.

Pilot testimonial: I got trained in the 1990’s and scoured the world for an opportunity to build helicopter time after I got my helicopter licenses. I really looked around the world. I found that in America with this company that combined boat photography and low time pilots. I paid money to fly with an instructor and earned my way into a job. I took various jobs and now work on a well known television show. Most every flight I fly there is something I learned taking pictures of boats with an instructor that is applicable to what I do now. It is the best training and got me to the pinnacle of any helicopter career. Flying on the top rated TV show in the world.
