Indian Students

Welcome Indian students.

All American Helicopters Flight School and Aeroknights have a DGCA compliant program especially designed to take you from zero hours to Commercial Helicopter Pilot in the shortest possible timeframe at an affordable price.

All American Helicopters is proud to present our partnership with Aeroknights. We have worked with Aeroknights to come up with multiple packages to suit your individual needs. Our partnership enables us to jointly offer a full range of services. Aeroknights will work with you to ensure you meet all your training requirements before coming to the USA. We will ensure you get the best training possible at our FAA certified Helicopter Flight school. Aeroknights will then work with you to have your FAA certificates converted to DGCA and use their comprehensive network to assist you in finding a job.

We have put the following numbers together to give you an idea of all inclusive costs for each package. Please note that these costs are based on the FAA minimums. Students sometimes need to work on one particular area, and therefore require more time than is allocated in the minimum hours. Any additional time needed will be charged at the same discounted rates offered below. Due to different proficiency levels, the costs will vary for each student. We recommend you budget for 10% more than we have listed

This package includes your Private and Commercial certificates. This package assumes you have no flight experience in either helicopters or airplanes.
