Top US Helicopter Training Programs

Premier US Helicopter Training Programs

Since the early 1480s, when Leonardo da Vinci created a design for a machine resembling today’s helicopters, that could be described as an “aerial screw,” significant advancements have been made towards vertical flight with the helicopter. Helicopter training programs and schools span a wide range of utility and industries including search and rescue, tourism, transport, electronic news gathering, reflection seismology, aerial and motion picture photography and beyond. AQT Solutions is proud to serve many helicopter training programs, including such commercial and military helicopter maintenance companies such as Bristow Helicopters Australia with our ATMS helicopter training software. Here is a short list of premier training schools within US commercial aviation.
