Before you arrive

A helicopter rating is required for this advertised program. Recurrent applicants should have prior R66 experience. We review your recent flying, goals, applicable documents, and any insurer-specific requirements before confirming suitability.

What completion means

Training is proficiency-based. A course-completion record does not create a new FAA rating or guarantee an endorsement, insurance acceptance, or a job. Any extra instruction will be discussed and separately authorized.

Plan some flexibility

3–4 days suggested. These are planning estimates, not promised completion times. Weather, maintenance, and readiness always take priority. All aircraft flights are dual; no solo rental is included.
