Yes, your employer can make it a term or condition of employment that you fly helicopters and small planes, assuming you are licensed to do so, or that you take pilot training so you can fly these vehicles. They can't require to fly them right now if you are not currently licensed, since they can't require you to break the law, but they may require you to do anything not itself illegal as part of employment.
