How to Save Money on Your Helicopter Ratings

In these trying economic times, everyone wants to save money. Your flight school should work hard to save you money. Unfortunately, this is not usually the case. Flight schools want you to pay for hours on their machines. They also want you to pay for every minute of their instructor time. This can cost you thousands of extra dollars for your private rating alone.

North Andover Flight Academy is more than a helicopter flight school. We are a busy maintenance facility and commercial operator. Our instructors work hard to give you the most for your flight training dollars. We also have the best Robinson helicopter rates in the area - we operate R22 and instrument equipped R44 helicopters.

We have several ways to save you money, here are a few:

Ground School

Your school of choice should have an organized classroom helicopter ground school, such as we have here at North Andover Flight Academy. Our ground school costs thousands of dollars less than the other schools personalized instruction. You learn in a group setting, from experienced commercial pilots. Call for more information on group helicopter ground school.

Ferry Flights

As a busy maintenance facility for the largest Robinson Leasing Company in the country, we have helicopters which are ferried from various locations. At times, these helicopters are available at an extremely reduced cost to our students. You may have the opportunity to gain valuable flight time with an instructor at half the normal retail rate. Though these opportunities are limited, they are available.

Other Student Opportunities

We always offer students the chance to "ride along" when training in our R44 helicopter. This allows students to become familiar with other flight tasks, such as listening to radio communications and reading charts. Invaluable experience for our students at no cost.
