Metro’s Helicopter Flight Training Center Gaining Altitude
Company seeks to offer inexpensive training for operators that might not otherwise use sims.

Making synthetic training affordable by allowing customers to tailor programs to their specific needs is the idea behind Metro Aviation’s Shreveport, La.-based Helicopter Flight Training Center (HFTC).

Based in a converted and remodeled 12,000-sq-ft Solo Cup factory across the street from Metro’s headquarters, the HFTC allows customers to dry lease helicopter simulators and flight training devices by the hour and either bring their own instructors or contract with independent instructors suggested by the HFTC. It also will assist customers in developing their training programs, as well as train their instructors to operate simulators and FTDs at no cost.
