Flight Training Courses

Heli-College Canada offers three main courses to students with no previous Rotary Wing training. We also offer several advanced training courses for licensed pilots. The following hourly rates include flight time, instructor time, fuel and insurance expenses. The ground school rate includes briefings, lectures, an audio visual library, and use of the computer self study programs.

Heli-College Canada is primarily a commercial helicopter training facility. Therefore, no PST or GST is charged on tuition fees for our commercial training. This is not the case with all schools. Be aware that some do not qualify as GST exempt, and must add taxes to their quoted rates.

The cost of a flight training course is dependent on the type of helicopter chosen for training. To determine the total course cost, multiply the required number of helicopter flight hours by the hourly rate and add in simulator, books, and ground school fees for that course.
