Gulf Coast Aviation - Houma

Gulf Coast Aviation's Houma campus serves pilots in Louisiana's Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes — the heart of the state's offshore energy industry — from Houma-Terrebonne Airport (KHUM). The location is particularly significant given that many pilots who train here go on to careers in the helicopter and fixed-wing offshore aviation sector that dominates the regional economy. As part of the Gulf Coast Aviation multi-location network, the Houma campus delivers FAA Part 141 certificated training with the same standards, fleet, and curriculum available across all Gulf Coast locations. Students from the Houma-Thibodaux metro area, Bayou Country, and the broader Terrebonne basin have convenient access to professional flight instruction without having to commute to New Orleans or Baton Rouge. The coastal and delta geography surrounding Houma provides a uniquely challenging and interesting VFR navigation environment, with the Mississippi River, coastal wetlands, and Gulf of Mexico all within easy training range.
