GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
Lakeshore Helicopter teaches at Kenosha Airport in Wisconsin, serving southeast Wisconsin and the Chicago region. Its flight-instruction page advertises helicopter training from private through ATP, plus R66 and Bell 206 initial and recurrent work, night-vision-goggle training and enhanced autorotation instruction. A separate long-line course addresses external-load handling and vertical-reference flying. The school describes using Kenosha’s towered environment, nearby rural airports and more complex Chicago-area airspace. Its published helicopter inventory includes Robinson R44 Raven II and R66 aircraft. Cross-country mountain training is an arranged specialist course, rather than a local mountain environment.

Training framework & verification
Part 61: Part 61 inferred in supplied source; not independently confirmed. A source listing is not a current FAA approval check or a quality rating.

TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
Lakeshore offers a combination of certificate training and operational skills that warrants more detail than a basic helicopter-school label. New students should ask for the actual certificate-by-certificate syllabus; experienced pilots can compare a specific model or mission course. The company also publishes fixed-wing aircraft inventory, but that alone does not establish airplane instruction. Kenosha is in Wisconsin, despite the imported directory record’s Illinois label. Confirm the training address, aircraft and instructor before travel, especially for mountain, NVG and external-load sessions.
