Do I really need to tell you that aviators, of all stripes, are
suckers for helping out with a good cause? Day in and day out, the
heart of aviation is visibly on display as aviators the world over
do what they can to be of service to those around them... while the
world is often ignorant of the sacrifices and benefits we flyers
bring to them.
Copters For A Cause seeks to change a bit of that. Copters for a
Cause is a non-profit organization based out of Denver, Colorado.
Simply put, they are a group of helicopter pilots and helicopter
enthusiast who want to share this incredible experience for great
causes.
Copters for a Cause is a supporting organization. They help to
raise money for non-profits and individuals with a mission to help,
though their services are not limited to any one goal or cause.
They hope to help as many different charities as
possible.
Copters for a Cause was the vision of Cayce Batterson. He is a
professional helicopter pilot that has dedicated his career to
teaching. He holds an Airline Transport Pilot helicopter
certificate as well as a Certified Flight Instructor, Instrument
Instructor, and he is designated as a Pilot Examiner in Colorado,
one of three people who conduct check rides for helicopter
students.
He is also designated as the part 141 Chief Pilot for a flight
school in Denver and is the lead instructor in the FAA’s
National ASI Indoctrination course, teaching new FAA employees
helicopter skills. When he is not teaching, Cayce flies for a
Medical Evacuation company in the mountains of Colorado providing
transport to critical care patients.
He hopes to make Copters for a Cause his greatest flying
accomplishment.
