Commercial Pilot Rotorcraft Helicopter
The commercial helicopter program is not only for pilots who are training for a career
in helicopter aviation, but also for the private owner who wishes to gain proficiency.
Having a Commercial Pilot Certificate allows you to get paid to fly.
So, for the pilot desiring a career in aviation, this is a must!
The decision to become a professional helicopter pilot is currently a very wise one.
The industry is scrambling to locate qualified pilots due to an acute shortage.
This high demand is expected to continue well into the next decade.
