Good work Rotorheads! and thanks for choosing Treasure State Helicopters!
Were you one of the many SSH students that was recently kicked to the curb?
Jerry Grant, Darrel Folkvord, and
myself - Mark Taylor, will do what we can to help you through these hard times as you try to continue working on ratings and
certificates to achieve your goals and dreams that we all shared when we started this endeavor.
One of the main
reasons for starting this flight school was to give students quality instruction and training at a FAIR price and allow them
to excel at their own pace without being pushed or held back by the company or other students.
Silverstate was charging
students $69,900 for an R-22 school and $99,900 for the R-44. We can get 175 hours logged in your book for only $63,000 with
an instructor. This is more than enough flight time for you to obtain your Private, Instrument, Commercial and CFI/CFII ratings, or
stop at commercial with 150 hours logged for $54,000, and all in a Robinson R-44 Raven II instrument helicopter. Do
the math - it works out to just $360 per hour of flight time!! That's tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than silverstate!
Ground school is not included in this pricing, but on the average enough ground school to get through CFI is about $3,500.
( and that is if all ground is one on one ). We are also proud to announce that our students have been passing their FAA written
exams with above 90% scores.
We fly a brand new R-44 Raven II. We are prepared and will immediately pick up another aircraft
if the demand is there.We carry a complete full coverage insurance policy ( not a "self insured" company like SSH
or a cheap insurance that only covers liability ). We are registered with the State of Montana. We offer ground school
two nights a week. You can buy time by the hour or in ten hour blocks. A pay as you go school. More than 75% of
your training will be at a density altitude of more than 7,000 feet, and some of it up to near the ceiling limits
of the R-44. Logging this high mountain flying time will tremendously help you in landing a job. We teach and practice
mountain flying techniques. Our aircraft are stored in a heated hanger. On top of all that, being able to do
your training at Bozeman, Montana in some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country. Many of you know us,
call at any time. Mark

• Commercial
services start at $550.00 per hour of hobbs time.
• Student aircraft rental with an instructor is $450.00 per hour
of hobbs time.
• Student aircraft rental with an instructor when purchasing a 10 hour block of hobbs
time is $425.00 per hour.
• One on one student ground instruction is $50.00 per hour.
• Classroom ground
school prices will vary depending on the number of students in the class.
* Hobbs time is collective activated,
so it only counts time while in-flight, not during warm-ups, shutdowns, or while sitting on the ground lecturing students
on maneuvers.
* Rather than raising the per-hour cost, a $25.00 fee will be added
to each flight. ( this is to help cover the cost of scheduling, CFI wages, and the higher cost of fuel )
