WELCOME TO AUSTRALIAN HELICOPTER ACADEMY
There is no better place to learn to fly a helicopter than in the stunning Kimberley region in Western Australia. Australian Helicopter Academy (AHA) is one of the very few helicopter training schools which provides scenario based flight training in the environment that you are likely to get your first job. With instructors who are experienced professional helicopter pilots, students will learn far more here than the basic helicopter licence. AHA is a unique training facility in Australia.
Our qualified instructors will train you on all aspects of flying helicopters from the effects of control movement, how to hold the controls and what the controls do, as well as general care and maintenance of all the aircraft. You will then progress to learning to fly the helicopter, circuits, hovering, emergency procedures, navigation and operating in a controlled airspace. Flying in the top end of Australia is exciting and Darwin is close by for controlled airspace training. There is employment opportunity for the right candidates with HeliSpirit, a charter helicopter business with a fleet of 21 helicopters operating across Esperance, the Kimberley and in the Northern Territory.
