Fly Helicopters as a Career
Are you looking for a high-paying job that's fun? Do you want to begin your career, without going to college? Have you always been interested in flying?
Whirlybird is a helicopter flight training school that offers one-on-one flying instruction with FAA-certified flying instructors. Through a unique, step-by-step learning process, you are able to finish sooner and at a higher level than that attained by most helicopter students. We focus on training you for the real world and achieving an advanced level of learning in less time and for less money. All we require is enthusiasm and a desire to fly; what's more, we offer an incentive for transferring to Whirlybird from another school.
Through our program, we create safer pilots who are ready for the real flight environment. At Whirlybird, you'll train in the Robison R22, and the Enstrom 280 helicopters, applying the knowledge you've acquired from your ground instruction. Many flight schools only prepare students to pass exams, which only scratches the surface of what's needed intellectually and practically, meaning that students are not prepared to leave the training atmosphere once they graduate. After an education from Whirlybird, you will be confident and sure of yourself, knowing that you have been meticulously trained in the many situations you might encounter.
