Helicopter flight school


The AIR SERVICE CENTER school was established in 1987 in response to the founders' profound passion for flying and their desire to pass on their experience in the helicopter sector.

School activities have always played a central role in ASC's everyday life, and our pilots have always received highly-professional, meticulous training!

As early as 1987, ASC established itself as one of the top flying schools in Italy.

In our IT.ATO. 0027 (Approved Training Organization), an SMS (Safety Management System) internal safety management system for instructors and students is in place, approved by the ATO.

To date, the ASC school has trained hundreds of helicopter pilots who continue to provide professional service in some of Italy's top companies, as well as in highly demanding sectors, such as mountain rescue, aerial work and passenger transport.

Naturally, not all of our pilots went elsewhere after completing their studies, and many of them are still here with us today.

The added value of the ATO at Air Service Center, which provides an unrivaled standard of training, is the use of flying instructors who also actively involved in aerial work, fire fighting and passenger transport on a day to day basis.

In full compliance with European standards, training is carried out by highly experienced pilots with thousands of accredited flying hours, who are capable of putting passion and professionalism into their teaching.
