Helicopter pilot training Houston
West Houston Airport, formerly known as Lakeside Airport, has been actively promoting flight training since 1962. The location of the airport combined with its enthusiastic administration and customers is what makes learning to fly at West Houston Airport an exhilarating experience.
The professional staff of pilot instructors are well qualified and of the highest caliber, each maintaining the standards of excellence in their profession. They are eager to assist the novice or the experienced aviator with basic and advanced training. Chief pilot, supervisor of pilot training, examiner, and administrator of flight tests, C.G.
