5 hour Helicopter Pilot Training Pack
Dreams of being a helicopter pilot could soon become a reality with the help of our special Five Hour 'Heli-Start Pack'. This superb flying gift could be the introduction to new hobby as you aim towards your pilots licence, or even a launchpad to a new career in the aviation industry.
Each one hour training lesson is preceded by an in depth one hour flight briefing to ensure maximum progress is made on each flight. A log book is included, which means the hours you have flown in the heli on this special pilot training package can count towards your helicopter pilot licence PPL (H), so you're well on the way to becoming a proper pilot!
The Heli-Start Pack is currently available at venues in Kent, Surrey, Leicestershire and Hertfordshire where you will be welcomed into the flying community and learn all about life as a helicopter pilot. Indeed, the flightpath (or should that be the runway!) to becoming a helicopter pilot isn't an easy one, as you have to learn about flight regulations, weather predictions, gaining clearance from air traffic control as well as filing flight plans, but it's certainly an exciting journey!
This is a really special present for those 'once in a lifetime' occasions, where you can give someone you love the chance to learn how to fly a helicopter! We also offer 'have a go'
30 minute helicopter lessons if you think they might want to have a shorter trial flight first!
Experience Summary: Your Into the Blue helicopter pilot starter pack provides five x 1 hour lessons.
