Prescott AZ is Universal Helicopter’s center of excellence for Flight Instructor training. As well as providing Part 141 and 61 Private,
Commercial and Instrument training, all students for CFI and CFII certificates will attend our Prescott location for their training. While requiring our flight
instructor students to complete
their training at Prescott may seem like an imposition, this experience differentiates our graduates from other schools and substantially
improves their ability to get the top jobs after they complete their training.
There are many flight schools that boast of special Mountain Training or High Altitude Training courses. Since opening our Prescott location
in the first half of 2008, all graduates of both FAA Flight Instructor and Flight Instructor Instrument certificates have carried out their
training under high density altitude conditions, an experience that most pilots can only pay extra to achieve.
Prescott AZ is located some 75 nautical miles north of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport in the Arizona High Desert at 5000ft above mean sea level.
This makes it the ideal location for High Altitude and Mountain training and as a result, students training at Prescott have important
experience learning and flying at high density altitudes.
Arizona is world renowned for its sunny climate and great flying weather. We boast 360 flying days per year and even if the weather is bad
it seldom lasts more than a few hours allowing us almost un-interrupted flying year round. Prescott is a Class D Towered airport with great
training facilities and a wide range of instrument approaches for our instrument students. The area is rich with cross-country destinations
particularly Sedona airport with its spectacular surrounding red rock formations and Flagstaff at over 7000 ft above mean sea level. Grand
Canyon at over 6600 feet above mean sea level is only 90 nautical miles to the north.
We are located on the east side of the airport on the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus at:
