HCC Continuing Education offers a full complement of Aviation Ground training. The following courses are an adjunct to flight training you may be contemplating or currently taking.

Are you interested in flying helicopters? We'll cover rotorcraft aerodynamics, navigation, radio communications, systems, meteorology, and the air traffic system. The Helicopter Private Pilot certificate enables you to fly a helicopter without an instructor. It also allows you to take passengers to any place at any time whether its along the beach, over a job site, or to the office. This FAA certificate requires that you take both a written and a practical exam. By taking this class, you will be prepared to successfully pass these exams. This is NOT a test cramming course however. We cover the basics in depth, so that you will be prepared for a lifetime of safe flying.

During this course, we will help you find a good flight instructor if you don’t already have one. If you are not sure what your next steps are, we’ll help you. Course Length: 40 Hours.
