Celebrity Helicopters specializes in training the professional pilot. We have a staff of experienced flight instructors whose primary concern is safety. By training safety conscious pilots, we do our part to ensure that helicopters remain one of the safest forms of transportation available. Our Chief Pilot, Robin Petgrave has over 11,000 hours training hundreds of pilots who have gone on to successful careers all over the world. "Many pilots can manipulate the controls of a helicopter and fly from point A to B, but not many can fly a helicopter in a movie. I train pilots to be completely familiar with emergency procedures and aerodynamics involved so they are able to make the right decisions to conduct any flight situation successfully." This attitude and technique of training the "Smarter, more Skilled Pilot" has made graduates highly in-demand and a valuable asset to any company.

We deal with Production work, Celebrity transportation, Aerial Photography, Law Enforcement, and many other aspects of helicopter utilization that our students have the opportunity to experience. "We offer a Ride-along package to our students and I feel that if they are exposed to the things a helicopter can do and how it is used in the Real World before they complete there training, they will have a big advantage on other pilots. This is why our graduates have such an easy time getting a job and have such a long safe career as a helicopter pilot."
