Hillsboro Heli AcademyFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Hillsboro, Oregon
Hillsboro Heli Academy is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 3565 NE Cornell Road in Hillsboro, Oregon 97124, under air agency certificate 5HAS217L with location designator 5HAS. The certificate holder's legal name is Hillsboro Aero Academy LLC; the FAA record carries the trading names Hillsboro Heli Academy and Hillsboro Aero Academy. The same certificate covers 3 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Hillsboro site only; the 2 other locations are listed below. The address falls in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA metropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Portland-Hillsboro (KHIO) at Portland, a towered field at 208 ft elevation, 0.9 mile from the school's listed address. The listed address is on or beside the airfield, which is the usual arrangement for a Part 141 operation flying from its own ramp. 3 public-use airports sit within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Portland Community College in Portland, OR at 4.4 miles, followed by Aero Maintenance Inc in Vancouver at 15 miles. Oregon has 15 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #17 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Bend (3), Troutdale (2) and Albany (1). 1 of the Oregon entries has no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (503) 726-3000, and an agency email, ncimpean@flyhaa.com; it carries no website, so the contact details above are the only ones the FAA publishes for this location. Certification under Part 141 means the FAA has approved the school's training course outlines, facilities and chief-instructor arrangements and inspects them; it is not a quality ranking, and it does not by itself mean the school is VA-approved for GI Bill funding or accredited for federal student aid.
