If you are serious about flying helicopters, join us here at HeliTahoe in South Lake Tahoe and you will never regret it. Rotorcraft Private, Commercial, and CFI courses are available, along with add-ons and Mountain Flight Training. Founded in December 2005, Helitahoe is committed to providing superior training, unforgettable experiences, and an unsurpassed safety record.
My name is Claudio Walter, owner and instructor pilot of HeliTahoe. I have countless hours flying Hercules C 130 for the Italian Air Force, but my real passion is helicopter flight instruction. You have undoubtedly heard stories about flying schools staffed by inexperienced pilots just logging the necessary pilot in command hours to land a better job, only to leave the minute they reach 1000 hours. At schools with high instructor turnover, the students suffer. At HeliTahoe, we already have stacks of logbooks and are instructors by choice. We are committed to the students, with one-on-one training.
