This video follows Jake through his typical workday as a chief helicopter pilot on Maui. Our pilots on Maui begin their day by monitoring several essential factors. This includes items such as aircraft availability, maintenance, scheduling, and the weather. Once a thorough survey and the checklist is complete, it is time to start flying!
Maverick Helicopters’ pilots will fly approximately 3 to 4 Maui helicopter tours per day. Departing directly from Kahului Heliport, we offer 3 different Hawaiian helicopter excursions, including a Hana Rainforest landing tour, a dual-island tour between Maui and Molokai, and an all-encompassing tour over Maui.
In addition to providing a safe flying experience, our pilots are responsible for engaging with our guests with knowledgeable information on the Hawaiian island's history and culture, maintaining situational awareness, and more!
For more insight into the Day in the Life of a Maverick Helicopter pilot, check out • Helicopter Pilot Day i... as we follow Jake along on several tours from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon.

As someone who immediate hits 'Skip' on any KZfaq ads, I just watched an eight minute commercial and loved it. We will be taking a flight with you on our next trip.

Do you guys have more pilots that are from HI or the mainland? Be super cool to move out there to fly and build up hours.

Good question. Check out our site for open positions and details about the positions! We have more on the mainland, but we tend to keep our pilot application open. 😀😀

10,000ft volcano? Assuming a 10,000ft DA, can the EC130 carry full fuel and 5 passengers to the top of the volcano?? Or, do you have to return for fuel after the trip to the volcano? Beast mode activated. 😊

With a full tank, we can make it up to the top of Haleakala and still have fuel for some sightseeing on the way back to our terminal 😀

As a licensed helicopter pilot (lapsed) I'd be very wary flying over that type of terrain with a single engine. The tree cover looks extensive, and looked difficult to find a suitable emergency landing area. I've seen first hand what happens to a Jet Ranger making an emergency descent in autorotation into an extensive woodland by a highly experienced Chief Helicopter pilot and his son. Needless to say it didn't end well.

@@cms9902 Well this is what we signed up for. I also fly tours, but I do it over NYC. As you can imagine we don't have the best spots to land in an emergency but we do our best to always be in a favourable situation. But that's the deal with helicopters, we have to fly into places where not everyone would because with the machines we fly, we are allow to do it. The eurpean comment was referring to my feeling that if it was up to you, you would ban those operations because the risk is too high, but more regulations doesn't increase safety, training for pilots AND mechanics will increase it

Great video! What an incredible type of helicopter job 🚁 very unique indeed to fly those beautiful EC-130 helicopters in such stunning sceneries! I eventually want to be a helicopter pilot for a medevac company, however to build hours before getting hired by a rescue company, I would probably come to a tour operator like you guys to build hours as you need 1,500-2,000 helicopters flight hours before any medevac company will hire you! Cannot wait to see what life brings I’d love to fly for y’all in Hawaii or Grand Canyon someday! 🏜️ 🌺

A great video thanks…. But, trying not to be negative here, I look at the make shift, what looks like an overnight repair (3:10) to put armour plating on the tail boom. To try and make the aircraft survivable in a main rotor boom strike. Maybe I am completely wrong, if so I will remove this comment immediately

Yes, you’re wrong. That piece is present on all H-130 helicopters. Not at all an add-on patch.
