Our Primary Helicopter Trainer
We love the Schweizer 300CB helicopter for flight training. The helicopter is easy-to-fly, reducing the amount of training time needed. It is also a safe and reliable helicopter for flight training. This fact is one of the reasons the helicopter design was used for training U.S. Army pilots for many years, until the switched to more expensive turbine helicopters.

I have taken several lessons with ELT. The aircraft is top notch and meticulously maintained. Brad Fenster, my instructor, was knowledgeable and patient and did an excellent job pacing the lessons. Highly recommend.

ETL Aviation was extremely great to deal with. As an instructor, Brad was extremely knowledgeable and calm. He demonstrated everything properly and in a very understandable way.

I am a private pilot (airplane,) who has done two helicopter lessons with Brad so far. I am amazed how much he has been able to teach me in such a short time. FUN doesn't even begin to describe the experience!

Brad was fantastic! I’ve never been at the controls in a helicopter and he made me feel right at... home. Did a brief lesson on the ground and then we were up in the air to the north practice area where he let me do some basic maneuvers. Would absolutely recommend ETL Aviation!!! Much thanks Brad!read more
I recently had my first flight with ETL Aviation and logged my first helicopter flight with them.... As a aviation professional from start to finish I felt comfortable and safe with the abilities and knowledge of the instructor. The quality and condition of the helicopter was top notch and it was clear that service to the aircraft airframe and rotor assemble would meet and in some cases exceeded airworthiness. I had a lot of fun and felt like I learned things about the aircraft and how to operate as a rotor pilot. The owner and operator was kind and knowledgeable.read more
from a pilot that has already gotten his fixed wings and decided to add helicopter to his rating... brad has been by far the best instructor i have ever worked with very patient and just has a way of teaching and anyone who has ever been or flown a helicopter will understand how important a good instructor is, i really don't think would be where i am right now with getting my rating if it wasn't for him and is manner of teaching. anyone interested in learning to fly i would highly recommend brad and etl aviation has your first choice i promise you wont regret it.read more
Come prepared to have fun AND learn something! I had a fantastic intro flight with Brad and loved... every minute. I learned a little about the aircraft, controls, communicating over the radio, and got to try my hand at flying. Brad answered all my questions, even anticipated a few, and he pointed out things I hadn't even thought about. Great experience for anyone considering flying. You WILL want to come back! Also had a very easy time scheduling by phone, and the entire experience was very safe and professional.read more
