Helicopter Training

Upper Limit Aviation opened its doors in March of 2004 to provide FAR Part 61 helicopter training and Part 119 commercial operations. In May the same year Upper Limit Aviation obtained its FAR Part 141 Approved Helicopter Training Certification. Then in July of 2005, Upper Limit Aviation became the only helicopter training school in the state to meet the requirements and register as a Post Secondary Proprietary School with the Department Commerce, Division of Consumer Protection. Registration #5951411-9983. 

Since operations began, Upper Limit Aviation helicopter training has continued to grow at a rapid pace. Within one year, the fleet grew to four Robinson helicopters. Currently Upper Limit Aviation has opened a new hanger/office facility and expanded to offer training in both Robinson R22 and R44 models. We have also added an FAA approved flight training device for helicopter simulation and instrument training. Operations have included primary and advanced helicopter training, commercial operations and charity work. The growth has been beneficial for both the company and its customers, and Upper Limit Aviation has no intentions of slowing down..

Hours of Operation

Upper Limit Aviation maintains helicopter training office hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Sunday. Two hour helicopter training blocks are scheduled on a one-on-one basis between 7AM and 9PM, Monday through Sunday.

Student Services

Although Upper Limit Aviation does not provide housing or *transportation, our helicopter training staff will gladly assist international and out of town students in arranging both. A list of possible housing and public transportation options will be provided to the helicopter training student upon request. With the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College in close proximity, numerous helicopter training student housing options are available.

* With sufficient prior notice, Upper Limit Aviation will provide pick-up and drop-off to and from the Salt Lake City International Airport for helicopter training students arriving from out of town..
