Typical Day

Like most, Mountain Ridge Helicopters' students begin their day by heading to campus in the morning. Dress code is casual; t-shirts and shorts are the norm in the summer. Roughly two hours is spent on the ground receiving instruction. These are not boring lectures in a room full of 200 of your uninterested peers. Lessons are presented to very small groups, and in many cases one-on-one. These training sessions are meant to be interactive. Ask questions if you don’t understand because the “test” comes next.

Following classroom instruction, you’ll get into a helicopter–probably a Robinson 22–with your instructor. Here you will put into practice the principles you just learned. Your education has a VERY direct application.

After your flight you are encouraged to stay on campus to study and receive tutoring. Pack a lunch, throw it in the fridge and plan to hang out as long as you want. Remember, as a flight student there are no semesters. You determine the pace at which you want to complete your program.
