Choosing the right flight school is a crucial step in your journey to becoming a helicopter pilot.

Wire strikes are a constant threat for helicopter pilots, a silent enemy lurking just out of sight. Here's what you need to know.

Even the most skilled pilot can face immense pressure to take off, even when the weather screams "stay grounded!" Don’t do it!

Knowing the weather before a flight is critical, especially for helicopter pilots operating at low altitudes and in diverse environments.

With low-altitude flying lies a hidden world of dangers; demanding preparation, clear focus and experience. Don’t get caught out!

Autorotations. We all train for them, but let's be honest - even seasoned pilots can struggle with that perfect touchdown. The culprit is ..

Studies performed shows helicopter pilots have specific characteristic traits, but what about student helicopter pilots?

Low-altitude operation puts helicopters at a higher risk of colliding with power lines and other wires, posing a significant threat.

A preflight inspection is an essential part of any flight, and it's important to take the time to do it thoroughly.

These operations require specialized equipment, highly skilled personnel, and an in-depth understanding of mountainous terrain.

Coriolis illusion is a mischievous little gremlin in the pilot's labyrinth of spatial disorientation challenges.

The graveyard spiral is arguably the most insidious of all spatial disorientation illusions, particularly for pilots in low altitude ops.

As the name suggests, the somatogravic illusion arises from a combination of somatosensory (body) and gravitational cues. 

Silent danger lurks at low altitudes. Disoriented senses create illusions, tricking pilots and jeopardizing flight. Fly safe, know the enemy

It's been two years since we first sounded the alarm about the critical helicopter pilot shortage, and the winds haven't exactly changed.

VFR pilots, beware the storm clouds! Turning back is your ultimate weapon. Don't tempt fate in the unknown.

The FAA has established strict guidelines for pilots to avoid hazardous weather conditions that could pose a risk to safety.

The controversial question remains. Who is the better pilot - woman or men?

Age and gender have long been shackles, binding dreams and limiting potential. Yet, the winds of change are blowing …

So you're 40 and the call of the rotor is strong. But age, whispers doubts: Can I really become a helicopter pilot at 40? See what we say…
