Helicopter Flight Training

ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM WITH US

Welcome!

We are a part 61 and 141 ground school and can train you for private, commercial, instrument, CFI, CFII, and ATP. We primarily use the Schweizer 300 series for helicopter training and the Cessna 152/172 for fixed-wing training.

The 300 series has the finest safety record of any FAA certified, piston-powered helicopter which is substantiated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident statistics.

Our equipment is meticulously maintained to factory standards by our highly trained personnel. Tomlinson Aviation is committed to providing you with the safest, most thorough training available.

We are also a Part 135 operator, so we understand how commercial operators work and can transfer this knowledge to our students.

At Tomlinson, you will receive practical and in-depth training, with options to get Robinson R44 training and Bell 206 turbine transitioning.
