We are an UK CAA declared training organisation (DTO) enabling us to take you right through your chosen course and carry out all the necessary training from our purpose built heliport close to Leeds/Bradford Airport.
We offer a number of courses depending on your requirements, from initial trial lessons to Private Pilots Licences (PPL(H)) and Light Aircraft Pilots Licences (LAPL(H)) through to additional Type Rating courses for different models of helicopter.
The Private Pilots Licence (PPL(H)) or the Light Aircraft Pilots Licence (LAPL(H)) are perfect for those who want to learn to fly for pleasure, enabling you to share your new passion and skills with friends and family. If you are looking to make helicopter flying a career then the PPL(H) is the first step towards this, so we can help make that dream become a reality.
Please take a look at the courses on offer below, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact our instructors who will be happy to assist.
The aim of the LAPL(H) course is to train the student pilot to act as Pilot in Command under the Visual Flight Rules on single engine helicopters with a maximum certificated take-off mass of 2,000kg or less and a maximum of three passengers such that there are never more than four persons on board the aircraft.

The aim of the PPL(H) course is to train the student pilot to act without remuneration as Pilot in Command or co-pilot of helicopters engaged in non-commercial operations under the Visual Flight Rules. Unlike the LAPL(H) course you can carry more than four persons and fly larger helicopters, upon completion of additional training.
