Since 1995, Mauna Loa Helicopters Training Schools have offered professional helicopter pilot training, aerial photography and helicopter charters. Our locations across the island chain allow us to take full advantage of spectacular locales, varied weather conditions and unique challenges that comprise Hawaii and its airspace.
In fact, Hawaii offers you one of the best helicopter training environments on earth. Favorable weather conditions, scenic valleys, expansive beaches, exotic rainforests, offshore operations, challenging mountain and ridge flying…even an erupting volcano; Hawaii has it all.
You can train at a Mauna Loa Helicopter Training School on idyllic Kauai, in the exciting metropolis of Oahu, or in the rustic, wide open spaces of the Big Island of Hawaii. Each island has its own special charm, and it is all at your fingertips once you are here in the islands. Whichever island you choose for your home base, you’ll come to love to local scene and all it has to offer. You’ll find convenient practice areas, less congested airspace, and wonderful weather conditions for nearly 365 flyable days per year.
