Helicopter Flight Training

Professional helicopter pilots are highly trained and competent aircraft operators who are not only responsible for the safety of their passengers and cargo but also for the operation of sophisticated and expensive equipment. Pilots must meet FAA medical standards. Graduates of the Helicopter Flight Training degree program will have completed all academic training required for the Commercial Pilot (Helicopter) and flight instructor certificates. Pilots with a rotorcraft (helicopter) Commercial Pilot Certificate and/or instructor credentials may find employment in a variety of helicopter applications such as corporate flight operations, charter or cargo airlift, agricultural services, surveying, law enforcement, search and rescue, on-demand media, emergency medical evacuation, flight training, or with numerous government agencies or military services. Non-flying positions are also available with the Federal Aviation Administration or other federal, state, and local aviation agencies. Please see the Madisonville Community College Aviation Student Handbook for details.
