Helicopter Experts IncFAA-certificated Part 141 pilot school in Bulverde, Texas

Helicopter Experts Inc is listed by the FAA as a certificated 14 CFR Part 141 pilot school at 29640 Bulverde Lane in Bulverde, Texas 78163, under air agency certificate H2ES481K with location designator H2ES. The certificate covers this single location in the FAA list. The address falls in the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metropolitan statistical area.

The nearest public-use airport in the FAA's NASR database (effective 6 August 2026) is Bulverde Airpark (1T8) at San Antonio, a non-towered field at 1,088 ft elevation, 0.3 miles 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. 2 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 New Braunfels (KBAZ) in New Braunfels, TX at 23 miles, followed by Texas Aviation Academy, LLC in New Braunfels at 25 miles. Texas has 74 FAA-listed Part 141 locations in this snapshot, ranking #2 of 51 states and territories, with the largest clusters in Fort Worth (9), Denison (4) and Waco (4). 4 of the Texas entries have no dedicated page because the FAA record lacks a usable address.

The FAA record carries an agency phone number, (210) 930-0125, and an agency email, admin@helicopterexperts.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.
