TURN YOUR DREAM INTO A CAREER
We grew up with a dream to fly, too.
That’s why we offer exceptional professional helicopter and airplane pilot training for students from all over the world. For 39 years, students have used our experience and global reputation to turn their career dreams into realities.
What sets our training apart?
OUR EXPERIENCE
Our flight school has 39 years of experience training professional pilots from over 75 countries. You’ll join one of our thousands of graduates with careers working for helicopter operators like PHI and Columbia Helicopters or for international airlines like Delta, Air China, and EVA Air.
FLIGHT ENVIRONMENTS
Some flight schools offer clear skies and one type of environment—but that’s not how flying works. Our campuses in the Pacific Northwest train you for every type of terrain from high desert to mountainous environments—and the varying weather patterns teach you to fly in the real world. While our campus in Las Vegas offers more consistent sunny weather to help support your training during winter months.
CAMARADERIE
You’re not just a number at Hillsboro, at our flight school you’re part of a global community of pilots who commonly become friends for life. With graduates from over 75 countries, you’ll find camaraderie no matter where you call home.
SAFETY
You’ll fly in safe, meticulously maintained aircraft and learn the latest safety techniques at Hillsboro. We’re the first IS-BAO accredited Part 141 primary flight school (academy). The IS-BAO program is an internationally-recognized set of safety standards for business aviation. We also employ a full-time Director of Safety to support our safety culture in every aspect of our company.
