This course is available to pilots holding the Commercial Pilot Helicopter certificate. In lieu of the course as listed below, students in the Commercial Pilot course may begin training toward the CFI certificate during their Commercial Pilot course. This will reflect in a tremendous cost savings to the student. The price shown is for non-Helicopter Flight Services students looking to obtain their CFI rating. If the student has been at Helicopter Flight Services for their other ratings (i.e. Private Pilot, IFR) then the cost per hour for the aircraft is $310.00/Hr

NOTE: All number and prices are subject to change and all hours are based on FAA minimums.

NOTE 2: Due to current increased fuel rates throughout the country, we are forced to implement a temporary fuel surchargewhich may vary in price from time to time to all our current rates and services hourly. We hope to remove them swiftly if and when the fuel rates are reduced.
