Unique possibility for you who wants to become Helicopter pilot
In cooperation with Helitrans, the Scandinavian Aerospace Academy has been given the great opportunity to train helicopter pilots. Helitrans and Scandinavian Aerospace have strong relationships that bring great benefits to the student pilots. Helitrans is Norway’s largest onshore helicopter company and has bases all over Norway.
In cooperation with Helitrans, you can now get partially sponsored education. You will get PPL(H)/ CPL(H) on R44 and Type rating on AS350. And that is precisely why you, as a student with us, can become part of the helicopter environment from day one. You can also get the unique opportunity to practice two seasons as a Task Specialist in Helitrans before or after completing your education.
The helicopter training does not require higher education, but you must be over 18, pass an online entrance exam, as well as a medical test at the Institute of Aviation Medicine in Oslo.

We have chosen the modular method for the ATP-Program and the reason is simple, we do not believe in shortcuts and less training! Modular training in a controlled environment combined with industry experience is the perfect match and optimum training a student pilot can receive. Come and visit us and we’ll tell you more about our training philosophy.
The ATP program consists of several course that can be found in detail under timeline below.
Initially the program starts with PPL theory and flight training. Upon passing examinations and skilltest the students obtain an PPL-license and collect hours in command. The students then move on to the commercial part of aviation, starting with the ATPL-Theory, a 9 month long course covering various courses. Upon reaching sufficient amount of flight hours and passing all the ATPL examinations, the students enter the Multi Engine (ME), Commericial Pilot License (CPL) and Instrument Rating (IR) phase.
Upon passing the CPL ME/IR skilltest the students move on to the final phase Multi Crew Cooperation (MCC).
All training is conducted in Piper PA28, Diamond DA42, DA42 Simulator and Boeing 737 Simulator.
