Our Program
At Noble Aviation, our approach is very simple and direct. We pride ourselves on our company principles of honesty and integrity...to provide our students with up front, honest instruction and achieve what we set out to do.
The first step to contemplate when considering what flight training you need is to determine what your ultimate goals are. Once you establish this, then we can determine the best path to take to help you achieve this goal.
Becoming A Pilot
For any career pilot the first step is the Private Pilot Certificate. A Private Pilot certificate allows you to fly and log PIC time, but it does not permit you to be compensated for your service. In order to get paid to fly you will need a commercial certificate. Once you have your commercial certificate many avenues for you to pursue a professional helicopter career can open up. However, you may still find yourself limited to whom you can work for due to minimum flight hour requirements that most operators require. The magic number for most major operators is 1,000 hours of PIC time. There are several ways pilots build up this required time. One option is working for a small operator that specializes in agriculture work, pipeline/power line patrol, photography and aerial survey operations that do not have this 1,000 hour requirement. The most common method of acquiring this coveted time is through flight instruction. In order to provide flight instruction there of course is another certificate you must have. It is called a CFI (certified flight instructor) as a flight instructor you will be able to build time quickly and efficiently. During this time you will learn more by teaching, then you ever did going through your training. A CFI certificate is not an easy certificate to earn but it is very rewarding and a great way to start your career.
Our flight instruction is based directly from FAR Part 61 and we comply with all FAR Part 91 regulations. This allows us a lot of latitude to customize a flight training program fit to you. All instruction is on a one on one basis so you will not have the distractions of a large classroom environment. This also allows your instructor to mold the lesson to your weak areas and focus attention on issues that are hampering your flight training. Our ultimate goal is to get you your next certificate. We specialize in add on rating training and students with previous helicopter experience. This does not however hamper us from providing a student with no prior aviation experience, the best and most efficient training to accomplish your private, commercial and CFI pilot certificates.
The Helicopter Industry
There is a shortage of helicopter pilots in the industry due to the retirement of the Vietnam era trained helicopter pilots and the reduction of military training. The increased use of helicopters in many fields such as Air Medical Service, law enforcement and offshore oil transport has created an additional demand for qualified helicopter pilots. The average student can begin working as a helicopter pilot in as little as 10-18 months, with a starting earning potential of $40-$45,000 a year.
Training At Noble Aviation
We are able to provide our student pilots with the highest level of training available through the use of state of the art equipment.
