| Helicopter Flight Training | Aerial Photography and Video | Helicopter Rides | StudentsInternational StudentsIf you are from outside the U.S. and are thinking about starting or completing your helicopter flight training in Florida, then look no further. We can offer advice to all international students from all over the world. Ocean Helicopters has contacts with flight schools in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Europe, The Caribbean and the Far East. These relationships allow us to keep up to date with the requirements and regulations for each country and offer you the best advice when it comes to flight training. Please contact us and tell us of your individual needs and we will do our best to cater for you. UK StudentsFlying in Britain is expensive. We have unfortunately been there and done that. Helicopter instruction in the USA is on average about 40 % cheaper than back in the UK. This is a huge saving and a very good reason in itself to make the trip,
but coming to America is not only about saving money. The main question that you may be thinking is "Will my licence be valid back in the UK?". The simple answer to that question is "Yes". If you come to Ocean Helicopters and obtain your Helicopter Private Pilots Licence, you can then go back to the UK and legally fly on that licence without any conversion. "Can I convert to the JAA/PPL?" Some people don't go overseas for their flight training, the simple reason being because of the uncertainty of going to another county, especially if they haven't been there before. Here at Ocean we understand this fully and have taken several steps to make your stay as accommodating as possible. The following lists just some of the services we provide:
All you would have to do is book your flight to Palm Beach International Airport and that's it!! We do recommend, for your convenience, that you acquire a rental car for the duration of your stay. When you have passed your licences or ratings, Ocean Helicopters will then drive you back to the airport and stay with you until you are checked in and safely on your way home. Before you decide on any flight school to do your training, you should really go and visit them before you commit to anything, so why not come and see us, maybe coupled with a holiday. We offer a package called "An Introduction Week" and it is aimed at people that are thinking about trying their hand at helicopter flying before they commit to a whole course. Or simply for people that want a week in the sun trying something a little different. For the people that come over here to try helicopter flying before making the big decision of committing themselves, this is a particularly good idea. If you come here and like it and decide you want to go ahead and carry on, EVERYTHING that you do whilst here in that week will count FULLY towards your next course. So in monetary terms, everything that you spend on this course towards your flight training will be taken off the cost of your final course. On the other hand, if you come here and decide that helicopter flying is not for you, then you haven't committed, time wise and financially to a whole course. So we see the introduction week as a "win/win" situation for our
students, but not only do we think this, our students' do too. Every student,
bar none that has come over to Ocean Helicopters to do this, has come back to
us to complete their training.
We offer the Private Pilots license, Commercial license, Instrument rating, Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) license, Certified Instrument Flight Instructor (CFII) license and Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) license to our UK students. If you need any more information regarding training, please feel free to contact us via either our U.K or Ireland phone number, or email us.
