LEARN TO FLY

Learning to pilot helicopters is both thrilling and challenging, offering a unique sense of freedom. While no formal prerequisites are required, it demands strong motivation and self-discipline. Mastery of both practical skills and theoretical knowledge is essential for becoming a proficient pilot, but the sense of achievement upon earning your license is unmatched. With our comprehensive training program and expert instructors, you'll receive the guidance needed to succeed.

Trial Instructional Flight (TIF)

A Trial Instructional Flight (TIF) is a unique opportunity for aspiring pilots to experience flying a helicopter firsthand. Under the guidance of a qualified instructor, you'll take control of the aircraft and learn the basics of flight in a safe and exciting environment. This hands-on introduction gives you a taste of what it's like to pilot a helicopter and is perfect for anyone considering flight training or just looking for an unforgettable adventure.

recreational Pilot Licence

 The RPLH is the first step for those looking to fly helicopters for fun. This licence allows you to fly helicopters within Australia for recreational purposes. The training includes both theoretical and practical components. You'll learn essential topics such as aerodynamics, meteorology, navigation, and air law. The practical side involves a minimum of 30 hours of flight training, where you'll develop skills in handling the helicopter, navigation, emergency procedures, and more. Once qualified, you can fly under visual flight rules (VFR) during daylight hours, but you'll be restricted from carrying passengers or flying for commercial purposes.

Private Pilot Licence

 The PPL(H) is designed for individuals who want to fly helicopters privately, whether for personal travel or to share the experience with passengers. To obtain this licence, you'll need to complete both theoretical and practical training. The theoretical component covers subjects like navigation, meteorology, human factors, helicopter systems, and air law. On the practical side, you'll need a minimum of 50 hours of flight time, which includes dual instruction and solo flying. You'll learn advanced helicopter handling, navigation skills, emergency procedures, and how to manage passengers. Once you obtain your PPL(H), you'll be able to fly anywhere in Australia under visual flight rules (VFR) and carry passengers, but not for commercial purposes.

COMMERCIAL Pilot Licence

 The CPL(H) is designed for those aiming to pursue a career as a professional helicopter pilot. The CPL(H) training program is rigorous, combining in-depth theoretical knowledge with extensive practical flight experience. You'll cover advanced topics like aviation law, flight planning, meteorology, and helicopter systems. The practical training involves a minimum of 105 hours of flight time, focusing on advanced maneuvers, navigation, instrument flying, and emergency procedures. Upon completion, you'll be qualified to fly helicopters commercially, carry passengers, and take on roles in various sectors such as tourism, emergency services, and aerial work.
