About our program
Sirius Flying LLC provides one-on-one flight and ground training tailored to each individual trainee pilot with emphasis on training busy professionals who demand high standards of experience, professionalism, integrity and efficiency.
We extend the same high standards of instruction to all trainee pilots, whether pursuing a personal goal of becoming a private helicopter pilot or an instrument rated pilot.
Our training allows trainee pilots to enjoy their instructor's undivided attention while having the freedom to set their own type of training schedule and progress at a pace consistent with their individual goals.
We exclusively use Robinson helicopters because they are fast, comfortable, and extremely reliable. Those traits have made Robinson helicopters the most popular training and personal use helicopters in the world. Because of their versatility and low operating cost, Robinson helicopters are an extremely popular choice with private helicopter owners, which many of our trainee pilots aspire to become.
