Helicopter Training

We can help you realise your ambition to learn to fly helicopters and become a professional helicopter pilot.

Start your journey

Whatever your reason for wanting to learn, we can tailor a training programme to suit your individual requirements and availability. You do not need an aeroplane licence or to have been in the military. If you would like to learn to fly a helicopter, call us and we can arrange for you to take your first lesson.

At Elite we have instructed a wide variety of students, most who have qualified as Private Pilots, and some others who have gone on to qualify as Commercial Pilots and others who have then continued on to gain their Instructor Rating as well.

Learn with the elite

All of our flight instructors are high-time commercial pilots with experience in helicopter operations so you can be assured that at all times you will be in a very safe pair of hands!

We’re licensed through the Civil Aviation Authority as an Air Operator Certificate Holder (AOC No. GB2055) and an Approved Training Organisation (ATO No. GBR.ATO.0198).
