VERTEX Flight Academy was started with one goal in
mind:
To train our students to become safe, competent, professional
pilots.
Since we opened our Flight Training Facility
in La Porte, TX, we have been provided unequalled flight instruction
services to people throughout the Houston area. Our student
enrollment increases weekly, and unlike the airline industry,
the demand for helicopter pilots remains strong, and continues
to grow at what appears to be an increasing rate.
We offer training both for Private Pilot
and Commercial Pilot ratings for those starting a career as
a helicopter pilot. We are currently authorized under 14 CFR
Part 61 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) to provide
helicopter pilot training for those seeking to be certified
as Private, Commercial, Instrument, or ATP-rated helicopter
pilots as well as training for those who desire to become
Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) or Instrument Instructors
(CFIIs).
We offer helicopter Instrument training,
Instrument Flight Instructor (CFII) training, and Airline
Transport Pilot (ATP) training in our Schweizer 300C &
and MD500E helicopters. We additionally offer Advanced Flight
Training services such as External Load Training, and in the
near future, we will be adding Night Vision Goggle Flight
Training to our list of Specialty Training Services.
We are one of the most experienced helicopter pilot training
facilities in the Houston area and, as far as we know, the
only helicopter training facility to offer external load training
in the southern Texas region.
We have an experienced staff of pilots and flight instructors
with a vast amount of civilian and military helicopter aviation
experience. Our pilots and instructors have extensive experience,
and in some models, have served as FAA Approved Check Airmen*
