Hi-Tech Helicopters IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Pocono Lake, Pennsylvania
Hi-Tech Helicopters Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 2901 Locust Ridge Road in Pocono Lake, Pennsylvania 18347, under air agency certificate 5HIS190L with location designator 5HIS. The same certificate covers 2 FAA-listed locations, so this page describes the Pocono Lake site only; the 1 other location is listed below. The address falls in the East Stroudsburg, PA micropolitan statistical area.
The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Pocono Mountains Regional (KMPO) at Mount Pocono, a non-towered field at 1,915 ft elevation, 8.8 miles from the school's listed address. The listed address is 8.8 miles from that field, so it may be an administrative or campus address rather than the ramp; ask the school where its training aircraft are actually based. It is the only public-use airport within 10 miles of the address.
Within 100 miles the FAA lists at least five other Part 141 locations; the closest is Avp - Fly Gateway Aviation Institute in Avoca, PA at 17 miles, followed by Valley Aviation Flight School in Forty Fort at 21 miles. Pennsylvania has 30 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #4 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Allentown (3), Beaver Falls (3) and Blue Bell (2). 1 of the Pennsylvania entries has no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.
The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (570) 839-0550, and an agency email, john@hitechhelicopters.net; 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.
