US Flight Training Group Hillsboro Aero Academy Holds European Seminars in April 2024

Hillsboro Aero Academy and Hillsboro Heli Academy, an Oregon, United States based flight training provider concluded in April an European seminar tour. Events were held at the facilities of ADAC Luftrettung in Bonn and Munich as the rescue helicopter operator is a longstanding partner of Hillsboro Aero Academy since 2019. In 2023 ADAC Luftrettung hired 6 skilled pilots from their joint program.

Back in 2022 one of Austria’s leading Helicopter Training Organisations, RotorSky GmbH announced that its second batch of pilots had just completed their EASA CPL(H) as part of the program they are running with US Flight School Hillsboro Aero Academy and ADAC Luftrettung.

In March 2024 Hillsboro Heli Academy shared that it had been granted examining authority by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This development allows the academy to internally evaluate and certify the proficiency of its students, eliminating the need for external designated pilot examiners and enhancing the efficiency of the training process.

Hillsboro Heli Academy, a division of Hillsboro Aero Academy, is an FAA-approved Part 141 flight school that offers comprehensive training programs from private pilot through flight instructor. The academy’s fleet includes Robinson R22 and R44 helicopters, along with state-of-the-art helicopter simulators, all based in Troutdale, Oregon.

Jared Friend, the general manager of Hillsboro Heli Academy, expressed enthusiasm about the achievement, stating, “We are thrilled to have earned examining authority from the FAA. This achievement reflects our unwavering dedication to providing top-tier flight training and our commitment to excellence in helicopter training.”
