Superb Safety Standards

Protecting the safety of our passengers and crew is our core priority!

Continuous Pilot Training: Our pilots are required to attend instructional sessions designed to strengthen their flight capabilities and knowledge. These sessions are led by both in-house and third-party licensed experts, and go far beyond regulatory compliance for flight safety!

Proudly all Robinson R44: Robinson Helicopters is the world’s leading manufacturer of civil helicopters, and the Robinson R44 is their best-selling model. We trust this model with the safety of our passengers and crew, due to its superb reliability and responsive handling.

Pilot Licensure & Drug Testing: In order to operate any of our helicopters, our pilots must remain in total compliance with the FAA-imposed requirements of commercial licensure and participation in a federally-administered randomized drug testing program.

Maintenance Support Network: Our company has operated for over a decade in several states across the country. In this time, we’ve established a rich network of partners for maintenance support. We leverage this network of expertise to always get a second or third opinion, and ensure we are making the best decision for the safety of our passengers and crew!
