Professional Helicopter Pilot Training
Learning to fly a helicopter requires both theoretical aviation knowledge and practical flying experience. At Hover Dynamics, training is provided under the supervision of experienced aviation instructors, with instruction tailored to the individual student's goals and progress.
Our helicopter pilot courses cover important areas of helicopter operations and flying, including aviation regulations, navigation, flight planning, meteorology, radio communication, helicopter systems, emergency procedures and practical flight manoeuvres. Students also gain practical experience developing essential helicopter handling skills.
Helicopter Private Pilot Licence (H-PPL)
The Helicopter Private Pilot Licence is suitable for individuals who want to learn to fly for personal use, recreation or business-related travel. The course provides the foundation needed to become a competent private helicopter pilot and allows the licence holder to act as pilot in command within the applicable licence privileges.
No previous flying experience is required to begin learning to fly a helicopter. Hover Dynamics can also arrange a demonstration flight, giving prospective students the opportunity to experience helicopter flying and discuss their training goals with an instructor.
Helicopter Commercial Pilot Licence (H-CPL)
For students looking to pursue helicopter flying as a career, the Helicopter Commercial Pilot Licence provides a pathway towards professional aviation. Commercial pilot training builds on the skills and knowledge developed during private pilot training and introduces the additional requirements associated with commercial helicopter operations.
Hover Dynamics focuses on developing capable, safety-conscious pilots with practical flying skills and the knowledge needed to progress within the aviation industry.
