Optimal training standards
At Hillsboro Aero Academy, we have been working exclusively as a flight school with ADAC air rescue since 2020 and have designed our flight training specifically to meet the needs of air rescue. We ensure that you receive the best possible training to reach your full potential as a professional pilot. Our graduates are highly trained for air rescue and have excellent career prospects, although we cannot give a direct guarantee of employment. However, our close cooperation with ADAC air rescue ensures that our training meets the high standards of air rescue and that our graduates are optimally prepared for a career in air rescue.
