HELICOPTER FLIGHT SCHOOL
Upper Limit Aviation (ULA) is recognized as one of the top helicopter flight schools in the United States. Why? One simple reason – our graduates get jobs flying helicopters for a living. ULA is an affordable flight school designed for career-minded student pilots. To start the admissions process call our Student Services Department at 844-iFLYEDU.
ULA has been approved and authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to teach helicopter flight school students under Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 61 and FAR Part 141. The FAA approval places ULA on a very short list of helicopter flight schools that meet the rigorous requirements necessary to be a Part 141 training program.
