Havens Aviation

Havens Aviation is a family owned commercial helicopter company based at Fairfield County Airport in Carroll, Ohio. It runs a helicopter flight school, seasonal helicopter tours, and utility and event work. The company describes itself as one of central Ohio's largest and oldest commercial helicopter operators.

The flight school offers helicopter training from private pilot and instrument training to commercial and flight instructor training. It also offers advanced and recurrent sessions. Its training goes beyond the minimum and is personalized to each pilot.

Utility work includes pipeline patrol, power line patrol, LiDAR surveys, gas leak detection, emergency line inspection, right of way surveys and GPS mapping. The company also provides aerial videotaping and photography for these jobs. Event support is offered for charity, church and corporate events. Custom projects are quoted for each job.

The fleet includes a Bell 206BIII JetRanger. It is used as a multipurpose utility helicopter and carries a pilot and four passengers. The company also operates a Schweizer 300C and a Schweizer 300CBi. These are used for flight training and light utility work. The company says it is one of the few flight schools that operates both Schweizer aircraft.

The company says safety is its top priority. Its aircraft were chosen for their safety record, mission flexibility and lifting capability. Maintenance is done in house by its own team.

The main service area covers Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The company says it can deploy aircraft and pilots across the United States. It provides turnkey service so customers can focus on their mission. Office visits are by appointment only, and the company is looking for motivated, locally based flight instructors.
