Helicopter Training

Learn to fly with the professionals at Elite Helicopters.

We have a dedicated team here to help you realise your ambition of becoming a helicopter pilot. Whatever your reason for wanting to have helicopter lessons, we can tailor a training programme to suit your individual requirements and availability. All our professional flight instructors are also genuine high-time commercial pilots with a wealth of experience in helicopter operations, so you can be assured that at all times you will be in very safe hands!

Our Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved helicopter training courses are conducted from our comfortable, modern flight school. Located within uncontrolled airspace, our facility at historic Goodwood Aerodrome in West Sussex has large designated training areas making it an ideal location for helicopter flying lessons.

Although it is not a requirement to start with a Trial Helicopter Lesson, it is an excellent way to have a gentle introduction to the course, meet the instructors and make your own evaluation of the flying school. All flight time undertaken during a Trial Lesson can be logged towards your Private Pilot Licence (Helicopter).

Once you have obtained your PPL(H), Elite can offer a variety of post-PPL(H) courses and activities including Self-Fly Hire, Type Ratings, Night Qualification, Commercial Pilot Licence (Helicopter), Mountain Flying and other exciting fly-outs.

We are operational 7 days a week so please feel free to drop in at any time and speak to one of the team. Over a tea or coffee we can spend time talking you through the various options available for your helicopter pilot training.

We look forward to training you to the Elite standard!
