Helicopter tuition is normally carried out in, but not limited to, the Robinson R22, a two place piston engined helicopter. With over 3000 machines produced and 20 years in the training market, the R22 is one of the most popular training machines and certainly one of the most reliable. Other available aircraft to learn to fly are the Robinson R44, Bell 206 Jet Ranger or Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel.
To obtain your Private Pilot’s licence you are required to fly a minimum of 45 hours (this may be reduced to 39 hours if you already hold an aeroplane licence).
You may hire or buy a helicopter and use it to fly for business or pleasure. You can take friends or family sightseeing and visit different areas of the country as well as fly abroad. Beat the traffic jams and travel quickly and economically. There are over 1000 places to land helicopters including hotels, clubs, racecourses, private sites and airports.
