Rotors of the Rockies

Specialties

Rotors offers flight training on a variety of levels, from private pilot to certified flight instructor, the full range of instrument training and Airline Transport Pilot ratings. Rotors also offers specialized courses for advanced pilots such as longline, high altitude mountain flying, night vision goggle and Robinson 44 PIC. The majority of our flight training is done in Schweizer 300C helicopters, the safest, most reliable piston helicopter of record. Schweizers are uniquely suited to Colorado’s high altitude, and like all Schweizer products, have no special FAA safety restrictions.

Aside from training, Rotors’ customers have chartered our helicopters to take pictures, make films, propose to sweethearts, view property, and drop golf balls. Our tours of the Foothills, Flatirons, and Downtown Denver areas were named one of the top 7 date night ideas by 5280 Magazine!
