Supports All Helicopter Training Programs
Online Helicopter Ground School
Helicopter Academy’s online helicopter ground school lets you study anywhere while you prepare for the FAA helicopter pilot written exam. This self-paced course supports all of our helicopter flight training programs, from your first helicopter flying lessons through advanced helicopter pilot training.
By completing ground school online before or during your helicopter flight courses, you can focus more of your time in the cockpit on flying skills at our helicopter school.
What the Online Ground School Covers
The curriculum is designed specifically for rotorcraft students in helicopter pilot training. It prepares you for the FAA knowledge test associated with Private and, later, Commercial helicopter ratings.
- Helicopter aerodynamics and rotorcraft flight principles.
- Aircraft systems, performance and limitations.
- FAA regulations and helicopter operating rules.
- Weather theory, charts and decision-making.
- Navigation, airspace and radio communication.

How Online Ground School Fits Your Helicopter Training
Online ground school is a powerful companion to in-air helicopter lessons. Many students use it to get ahead before their first helicopter flight course, or to stay on track while they train at our helicopter flight school.
- Study on your own schedule, from home or on the road.
- Arrive at each helicopter flying lesson prepared with the theory already understood.
- Use FAA-style practice exams to check your progress.
- Coordinate with your instructor so ground and flight lessons stay aligned.
