What others are saying

  • “I do not have any experience with the MD school but I have attended the Bell and Eurocopter school. With this being said, the best training I’ve ever received is when I attended the MD 500 EP course at Western Helicopters. I highly recommend them, especially if you’re a Lima-Lima pilot (low-level). Plus Pete Gillies and Bob Spencer are the PhDs of the helicopter industry and will take you far beyond the edge of the envelope. Give them a call.”

  • “Go to Western, you will not regret it! Some of the best training available anywhere. They can take you to mountains at 10,000+ feet, deserts, hot, cold you name it. It is all close by. They do all the 500 training for the federal LEOs (all branches).”

  • “I've done my recurrent training in Western Helicopter's MD 500 for 4 years now. You won't find two more experienced MD 500 instructors than Bob Spencer and Pete Gillies. My underwriter actually recommended Western over the MD school.”
