🚁 Don’t just train for the checkride. Train for the career.
When you’re building your foundation as a professional helicopter pilot, the experience you gain along the way can matter just as much as the certificates you earn.
Building R44 time during your training gives you the opportunity to become familiar with another aircraft and add valuable experience to your pilot résumé before you ever start looking for that next opportunity.
Today, you might be focused on earning your Private, Commercial, CFI, Instrument and CFII.
But tomorrow? You’ll be building hours, gaining experience and looking toward the next step in your aviation career.
That’s why we encourage our students to think beyond graduation.

🚁 Build More Than Hours. Build Your Future.
When you’re training to become a professional helicopter pilot, every hour matters, but building experience in different aircraft can help prepare you for what comes next.
At Mauna Loa Helicopters, students have opportunities to build Robinson R44 time during their training, giving them experience beyond the R22 and another aircraft to add to their résumé when it’s time to enter the industry.
Why can R44 time be valuable? Because your first job is only the beginning. As you build your career and start looking at opportunities beyond flight instruction, employers may consider your experience in different aircraft types along with your total time, qualifications, and overall experience.
Our goal isn’t just to help you earn your certificates.
It’s to help you train with your future career in mind. 🚁

Come to Hawaiʻi to learn how to fly. Leave knowing what it means to be part of a community. 🌺🚁
At Mauna Loa Helicopters flight training is about more than building hours, earning ratings, and preparing for a career in aviation.
It’s also about becoming the kind of pilot who understands that aviation can make a difference.
When our Hawaiʻi Island communities needed help following Hurricane Lala, our team stepped up.
These are the experiences that remind our students and staff that being a pilot is about more than flying an aircraft. It’s about service, responsibility, teamwork, and taking care of the communities we call home.
If you’re going to travel somewhere to chase your dream of becoming a pilot, choose a school that will teach you more than how to fly.
