Why Train in the Boston, Massachusetts Area?

Many reasons.

Boston Massachusetts Weather is good for helicopter training

It goes without saying that New England doesnt have the greatest weather in the country. The summers are hot, the winters are cold, and when it's not raining or snowing, it's windy. Seriously, Boston is windier than "The Windy City". With average windspeeds in the area of 12 knots and weather that varies from day to day, you're guaranteed to learn how to fly in weather conditions which represent almost anywhere you will be working later in your career.

All of the above combine to make Blue Hill Helicopters location in the Greater Boston, Massachusetts town of Norwood the best place to learn to fly. All of our instructors have been flying in this area for years. We know the weather.

We're located within minutes of downtown Boston (class B). Boston and the surrounding metro airspace is alive with Med Flight, News, and Police helicopters. As a career helicopter pilot, training in and around a Class B airport is extremely valuable. Blue Hill Helicopters instructors have experience in and around Boston, and as a student you will too.

It's not too far, maybe 30 minutes, to get to the foothills of the Green and White Mountains. Training in our 300C helicopter, you will participate in the mountain course and learn pinnacle approaches in a real-world situation. Why shoot pinnacle approaches to trees and mounds, when you can land on top of actual mountains?
