Helicopter Pilot Training

LOS ANGELES HELICOPTERS NOW OFFERS M-1 VISAS!

Los Angeles Helicopters, through our affiliation with Aviation Pacific, can now offer foreign students the ability to obtain an M-1 visa for training in the United States of America. The M-1 visa permits foreign nationals to enter the U.S.A. and achieve their desired license and ratings. Please contact Kim Orahoske at training@lahelicopters.com for additional information.

Los Angeles Helicopters is a nationally-accredited flight training school approved by the Federal Aviation Administration as a part 141 private and commercial training facility. Our mission is to create a growth environment for all of our student pilots looking to map out their career path.

Our strong affiliation with helicopter tour companies, heavy lift companies and commercial operators world wide has awarded Los Angeles Helicopters preferred status in the area of pilot referrals and placements. Los Angeles Helicopters's dedication towards the production of highly trained industry ready pilots has earned us this honor throughout the industry. Los Angeles Helicopters is dedicated to helping our trained pilots meet the minimum flight requirements and find jobs.

Los Angeles Helicopters is conveniently located at the heart of the Long Beach Airport (LGB), a class 'D' airspace. Due to its consistent volume of departing and arriving aircraft, LGB enhances our training curriculum because it necessitates the focus on tower communication skills. Our company helipads are strategically placed just moments away from all three public training pads, which are frequently used by other training facilities throughout Los Angeles. Because of this, there is very little commute back and forth to the training areas. Los Angeles Helicopters is also positioned near fuel trucks, which means that it will only take moments after a request to obtain fuel. In short, our proximity to both fuel and training pads is one small, yet significant way we help create a more productive flight training service.
