Welcome to Iowa Helicopter. We've been safely doing business from the Ankeny, Iowa airport since 2002. We offer a wide array of services, including our new Electronic News Gathering (ENG) helicopter complete with microwave downlink capability. The News Copter is available for video productions, live sporting events and news coverage in cooperation with our partner, Sky Helicopters of Dallas. We also offer powerline and pipeline surveys, wildlife counts, law enforcement support.
Iowa Helicopter is the only Robinson Helicopter training facility in the state. Not only do we use highly experienced R22 and R44 instructors, we have the only Robinson Helicopter examiner in the state on our staff! Training is available for every helicopter rating and college credit is available through Utah Valley University. Our flight school graduates have found great jobs around the United States with companies like Air Methods, PHI, Maverick, Papillon, Sundance and Rotorcraft Leasing.
At Iowa Helicopter, we concentrate on "one on one" training, where you have a flight instructor assigned specifically to you. You can fly every day, or as your schedule permits. We are specialists in "finish up" training, having helped many students who struggled at other schools where the large enrollment meant few flight hours and no help with passing the written exams. If you are an airplane pilot, Iowa Helicopter will assist you with obtaining your add-on helicopter rating.
We provide helicopter rides and tours from the Ankeny airport as an FAA approved Air Tour Operator. During the summer months, you will find us at community events offering low-cost helicopter rides.
