Why Train in the USA
The USA has the most developed helicopter industry in the world. For the past 50 years, helicopter instruction has grown and thrived throughout the country. Because of the helicopter experience that has been acquired, the United States can boast of some of the most standardized aviation procedures and protocols in the world.
In India, there is currently only one training center which can only accommodate 18 students a year. This course takes 18 months and is done in older, fewer, and larger aircraft—which means a significant increase in the cost of training and a much longer time to acquire your helicopter license.
Why Train with Silverhawk Aviation Academy
Our program provides you efficient lessons in both the classroom and in the air so that you can complete your training in just 6 months. We provide 6 helicopters, which are constantly kept up to safety regulations by two of our own full time helicopter mechanics. This means you will be able to fly when you want to fly. Additionally, we have 8 certified helicopter instructors, which will be able to accommodate to your schedule and pace of learning in a one-to-one classroom environment where you can ask all the questions you want.
