Greetings!

2013 - A Great Year
2013 continues to be a fantastic year at Guidance Aviation.  In June, our second helicopter flight school opened in Baton Rouge, Louisiana while a new Robinson R66 turbine helicopter was added to our growing helicopter fleet at our Prescott, Arizona location. Also exciting, a helipad was added atop the ship, "Miss Guided" for pinnacle landings and over water operations.

On-Demand HD Training Videos, Mobile APP, Web Portal
Earlier this year, we launched a comprehensive online library of high definition helicopter flight

training videos. Students are now accessing their flight training, 24/7, via the Guidance Mobile APP and our new web portal, "My GA".

Leading by Example
We are especially proud of our leadership this year.  In June, founder and CEO, John Stonecipher was awarded the Small Business Administration's Business Person of the Year Award in Washington, D.C.  This was the first time in the event's history that an Arizona business person has won.  Additionally, our Director of Maintenance, Mr. Jason Kidd, was awarded the prestigious FAA General Aviation Award, Maintenance Technician of The Year, 2014, AZ.

Career Success, More Jobs for Students
Of course, we are most proud of our 2013 career placement success stories which include Kenan Bahdir who has succcessfully moved on from Maverick Helicopters and is now flying EMS for Air Methods; Alex Clark and Mark Galvin who are pro tour pilots at NorthStar Trekking; Billy Ringer and Kyle Shuffler are now flying for Maverick Helicopters.  Additionally, we have hired 17 of our students and graduates in both part time and full time positions within the company to support our growing operations. Over 20 jobs and career starts were created!

HELI-EXPO 2014
In February, 2014, Guidance Aviation will once again be exhibiting at the HELI-EXPO, this time in Anaheim, CA.  You may see another busload of Guidance Aviation helicopter flight students converge on the event, just like in Las Vegas during HELI-EXPO 2013.

"Worldwide internet users will more than double by 2015, and most of them will

be 
mobile," says John Stonecipher. "Research studies are also telling us that more adults are viewing media on mobile devices than trade papers and magazines together. Add in that a vast majority of mobile time is spent on APPS, this was the right move for our students and clients. We are excited to be celebrating our 15th year in business and we look forward to growing our new Mobile APP and Learning Portal."
- John Stonecipher, President, CEO, Guidance Aviation.
