Learn to fly a helicopter? Become a helicopter pilot? Our helicopter pilot training is waiting for you.
You want to fly with passengers in any type of helicopter, but only privately or for your own use (unpaid)?
The PPL(H) license is meant for pilots who have no commercial intentions with their helicopter license, but want to fly with friends, family, customers, ...
Obtaining a PPL(H) licence is also the first step in further training towards CPL(H).
Conditions PPL(H) training
- Minimum age 16 years
- Passed a medical examination Class 2
- No prior knowledge required, for each level of study
Theory PPL(H) training
Tailor-made: you follow theory in evening school, privately or through our distance learning (self-study combined with class sessions).
After the theory lessons you will take a written exam at the FPS in Brussels (on computer).
You can follow the theory training before, during or after the practical lessons (flying hours). We recommend combining theory and practical lessons. In this way you will be able to understand the theory more quickly and put it into practice.
