About Raven Aircraft

Raven Aircraft LLC was founded in 2021 in Camas, Washington, by Ryan Gervelis, a helicopter pilot and mechanic who wanted to run the kind of operation he’d want to fly for: small, well-maintained, and honest about what a helicopter can and can’t do.

Ryan is Raven’s owner and chief pilot. He holds an Airline Transport Pilot certificate (rotorcraft-helicopter) and is also an FAA-certificated A&P mechanic, so the person flying the aircraft is the same person responsible for maintaining it. His background is utility, fire, search and rescue and agricultural flying, with thousands of hours on the long line — and that’s the experience the training program is built on.

The company holds FAA Part 133 and Part 135 certificates and hazardous materials will-carry authorization, and operates a Robinson R44 from Grove Field in Camas, with a Robinson R66 available when a job needs it.

The fleet: Robinson R44 Raven I, N45PG — the training and utility workhorse — with a Robinson R66 available when a job calls for more lift or altitude.

Safe and professional, every flight. A risk assessment before each departure, a written plan before each lift, and a safety management system behind all of it.
