The Commercial Pilot’s Licence not only allows you to start earning money for the flying that you do, but also shows that you can fly a helicopter to a very high standard.
This structured course teaches you how to become a fully fledged Captain of an aircraft, as opposed to simply knowing how to fly a helicopter.
You will develop the skills to operate the helicopter more efficiently and in a professional manner. You will also complete a night qualification as part of the course, one of the most exciting training courses you will do.
On completion of the CPL(H) course, you will become eligible to apply for our Flight Instructor Scholarship where you can have your entire FI(H) training course paid for.
