Professional Pilot Services
Welcome to Hennen Aviation — We provide contract pilot services for aircraft owners throughout Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, offering support for training, ferry flights, proficiency work, and mission‑specific operations in a wide variety of Airplanes and Helicopters.
I’m Michael Hennen, a commercial pilot trained at the University of North Dakota, where I completed the Helicopter Commercial Aviation program and earned a degree in Business Management. I’ve worked professionally as a flight instructor for nearly two years, teaching both helicopter and airplane operations, and helping pilots build real‑world skill, confidence, and safety‑focused decision‑making. With experience across dozens of aircraft types, strong IFR capability, and a background shaped by UND’s high standards, I bring a calm, professional, and mission‑ready approach to every flight.
