The 'Gold Standard' of Mission Ready pilots
USATS is the world’s premier aviation training provider for rotary-wing pilots, from initial qualification to advanced mission-oriented courses based on U.S. Government standards, parallel to those found at U.S. Military Service flight schools.
Our mission is to produce the most highly qualified, proficient military aviation graduates and leaders capable of unlimited growth, flying for any operational unit, throughout their careers.
Our training program blends best practices from both commercial and military sectors, with customized solutions for US allies that build uncompromising foundations in safety culture and early introduction of advanced concepts such as Crew Resource Management, Risk Management, Threat and Error Management, and Aeronautical Decision Making. This approach creates habitual behaviors that facilitate a faster and more efficient adaptation to follow-on advanced platform training.
Our training is conducted at Space Coast Regional Airport (KTIX) Titusville, FL and at our high-altitude training facility in Minden, NV.
