Heliventures offers courses for all skill levels, including advanced helicopter training school programs. Read more about our helicopter training school here:
Turbine Transition:
Prerequisite:
A Private Pilot Certificate with a Helicopter rating.
The Turbine Transition course is a 2-day course that is taught in our Bell 206 Jetranger Helicopter by one of our Bell Factory Trained Pilots. Turbine time is not something that a low time student has to have in their logbook, but it looks good on a resume. Once a Pilot reaches around 1000 hours of piston PIC time and is hired by a commercial operator, then that operator will most likely transition that Pilot into their turbine helicopters to their standards.
Course includes the following:
- 5 hours of dual instruction in the Bell 206 Jetranger. $900/hr – $4,500
- 10 hours of ground instruction. $50/hr – $500
Total – $5,000.00
Mountain Training:

A Private Pilot Certificate with a Helicopter rating.
The Mountain training course is a 3-day course that will prepare the student to fly in high altitude environments. Understanding how the Mountain environment can affect your helicopter will make you a safer pilot.

These unique flying skills will be a valuable asset throughout your flying career.
Course includes the following:
