This program is run through the Grand Canyon National Park Helitack.

The Helicopter Training Academy was created in an effort to support the interagency need to train Helicopter Managers and Helicopter Crewmembers. The objective of the academy is to provide planned opportunities for trainees with an organized helitack crew and work in the unique environment of Grand Canyon National Park. In the spring of 2000 the Helicopter Training Academy was born with 13 students.
