Previous students reflect upon their training with Coast Mountain Helicopters:
"I really enjoyed that training with Jean Marc and Sheena, and would highly recommend their school. It is a small school which allows them to really focus on everybody's needs and bring you to the top. More than flying, I learned so many things from their experience in this industry and their technical skills. Campbell River is a really good place to train, as you fly over the ocean as well as over the top of mountains and you have to learn how to deal with the coastal weather, which is tricky sometimes! The advanced training is really good: long lining, mountain flying, pads... All those things make you ready to work in the helicopter industry. Thank you again Jean Marc and Sheena for those amazing months!" - Andrea Moinet
"This Training was really awesome! Atmosphere was both convivial and professionnal. Jean-Marc and Sheena brought me their great experience about helicopter industry, for practice and theory. Campbell River Airport is a good field to begin radio communication, not too small, not too big. Especially if you learn English. More over, I have tried my favorite exercise during this training: Mountain Flying and Longlining! It was amazing! And it's good experience to get your first job. Also, Vancouver Island is a beautiful place to learn flying: Sea, Snow and Sky. Just perfect! It was just too fast....Thanks again at Jean-Marc and Sheena!" - Sebastien Diernaz
"Coast Mountain Helicopters was a great place to train. Both Jean-Marc and Sheena bring their many years of experience in the aviation industry to the classroom. They make the training interesting and ensure you get the most out of each flight. Training here gave me a lot of opportunities to learn advanced flying techniques such such as mountain flying, working in confined areas, flying in varied weather and visibilities as well as slinging." - Michael Sowa
"My training time with Coast Mountain Helicopters was very enjoyable. Jean-Marc and Sheena run a very organized and professional school. The training grounds give you exposure to a huge variety of flying and weather. Jean-Marc is very knowledgeable in the industry and has numerous connections with future employers. I highly recommend Coast Mountain Helicopters to anyone who is thinking of obtaining their pilot's license." - Travis Pakula
"All I want to say is thank you so much for these four months of flight training. Here at Coast Mountain Helicopters you have a very efficient team and an amazing place to fly. Having the school based at the Campbell River airport gives you real radio work training and yet only a few minutes flying time from the base you have ranges of mountains, endless confined areas, lakes, the ocean and more.. Above all, Jean-Marc gives you a hundred percent of his knowledge during training providing you with what you need to learn about being an operational pilot. If you want to be ready for this industry come and fly with Coast Mountain Helicopters!!" - Jean-Baptiste Buttard
