Rotor Transition Program (RTP)
Fast-paced Flight Training with a focus on safety and knowledge!
Now Enrolling!
What to Expect:
Training will not start without all prerequisites and TSA requirements being met.
1st day – Paperwork and Familiarization
(TSA, IACRA, other)
12 Months
We are focused on providing exceptional training throughout the program but we cannot control the New England weather!
We plan for 12 months to complete the program but it is possible to complete the training in a quicker timeframe, depending on weather conditions for the region. We will not compromise the safety of students or the safety of our CFIs to attempt to “accelerate” the program more than we can with given weather conditions, or other delays
