Hummingbird
Aviation Training Limited, a subsidiary company of Hummingbird
Helicopter Services Limited is the only Helicopter Flight Training
School in the english speaking Caribbean, having opened its doors
for training in January 2003.
Located at the old Piarco Airport
(TTPP), HATL has air-conditioned classrooms with tv / vcr for ensuring
that ground school is taught in a comfortable noise-free environment.
The company utilizes instructors
who are graduates of Helicopter Adventures Inc., the largest flight
training facility in the U.S.
The instructors have also received
safety training including Helicopter Underwater Egress (HUET), Firefighting,
Dangerous Goods, First Aid, Aviation Security Awareness, In-flight
Smoke Drills and Open Sea Survival.
Students enrolling for a full Commercial
Course are also given the above safety training at no additional
cost.
The facility operates seven (7) days
a week between the hours of 7:00am and 9:00pm. However, the times
can be tailored to suit the needs of the student if the normal hours
are unsuitable.
Students are given "one on one" training with their respective
instructors and therefore work to a pace which suits their individual
needs. |
