Personal Protective Equipment Kit Financial Aid Available
We require all academy trainees to maintain a safe and professional appearance throughout the program. All students are required to wear flight suits as the standard uniform of the school. All flight operations require the use of a flight suit. Safety is an attitude that demands we minimize the risk of injury wherever possible. You cannot harbor a culture of safety and ignore wearing safety equipment such as flight suits, etc. Flight suits are hot, and sometimes uncomfortable. At COS Aviation, we practice safety even when it’s not comfortable. Also, nearly every commercial helicopter operation requires the use of flight suits. After you graduate, you you’ll be happy you have your flight suit! We view training as an extension of the professional helicopter pilot world, not a separate industry.
