Transportation
When You Step off the Plane
We will meet you upon arrival at LAX and drive you directly to
your hotel or chosen living accommodation. Once you're settled
in, we will bring you to Los Angeles Helicopters and introduce
you to the staff, students, and facilities at Los Angeles Helicopters.
Your flight instructor will outline your personal training
course and issue the necessary training materials.
You will then most likely be off with other students who visit
the nightspots at the many beach resorts. There is always something
going on, from grad parties to barbecues, the students never
run out of things to do.
Location and Training
The Los Angeles Helicopters office is located to the North of
the main passenger terminal building at Long Beach Airport. Long
Beach Airport has three designated training company helipads.
It is a tower controlled airport whose air traffic controllers
are very accustomed to working with student pilots. Receiving
your helicopter training here will develop your radio communication
skills and instill confidence, which will help you deal with
any air traffic control situation in the world.
If you are arriving at Los Angeles International (LAX) and prefer
to get your car there, it is best that you arrange your airline
tickets and car rental together for the best rates. Los Angeles
Helicopters is more than happy to provide detailed driving directions
for you to reach your lodging destination, and will gladly meet
you at your hotel / house to welcome you.
If you prefer that we pick you up at LAX directly, we will do
so and drive you directly to your selected quarters in Long Beach,
and help you collect a vehicle at our airport after you have
had a chance to settle in. If you prefer (and are traveling light)
we can pick you up in one of our helicopters on the LAX rooftop
helipad, and start you right away on your first flight lesson
as we commute back to Long Beach. Inquire directly for luggage
restrictions and costs.
As you will quickly become aware, traveling the greater Los Angeles
basin will be painful to do without a car. The bus and public
transportation systems are not as convenient as most major cities.
So if you have hopes of visiting Malibu, Disneyland, Hollywood
or any other common tourist spot, do yourself a big service and
rent a comfortable vehicle when you need it!
For those on a low budget objective, we can refer you to a local
car rental company that rents older, less expensive cars. Maybe
you’ve wanted to cruise around in style in a big Cadillac!
Just remember the size of the car can blow your budget as some
are gas guzzlers! (Distances are much greater between attractions
here than you may think.) Those cars typically rent out at a
weekly rate of $125 US.
If you wish to further economize, we can also help with locating
used bicycles to help you commute back and forth between our
school, ride to the local beaches or simply for cruising around
for general exercise.
