KEEPING THE ARMY IN THE AIR

If you dream of becoming a helicopter pilot, Aviation School can make it a reality. To attend Army Aviation School you have to either be an Officer or an Army Warrant Officer. Your training in Aviation School begins with basic flying skills, where you will spend many hours in the classroom studying and learning rotary-winged aircraft inside and out. You will learn basic flight physics, flight systems, emergency procedures, flight map reading, flight map drawing and more.

After your basic flight skills, your classroom becomes the helicopter where you will learn your basic combat flight skills, which covers combat maneuvers used by Army pilots. After you pass both of these sets of courses, you will specialize in piloting one of the Army's fleet of helicopters:

  • OH-58 Kiowa
  • UH-60 Black Hawk
  • AH-64 Apache
  • CH-47 Chinook
ARMY JOBS TRAINED HERE

This training is not specific to a certain MOS. While there are no enlisted jobs trained here, if you become an Army Officer or an Army Warrant Officer, you can apply for Army flight school.
