Course Outline
Unlike other training programs, at Iowa Helicopter you start flying on the
first day of your training. After an introduction to the helicopter, an overview
of the flight, and a safety briefing, you will be allowed to take the controls.
The next step is to get you ready for solo flight, which typically takes
an average of 20 to 25 hours of flight instruction (20 hours FAA minimum).
We will combine the perfect combination of ground school and flying so you
can achieve your rating in as few hours as possible. The FAA minimum is 40
hours of flight time including 10 hours of solo flight, but it usually takes
more than the minimum to complete the course. At the conclusion of the course
you will be able to pass the FAA practical test and receive your certificate.
