AA Helicopters

AA Helicopters offers helicopter flight training, flight experiences and charter flights. The company is based at Halfpenny Green Airport in South Staffordshire, also known as Wolverhampton Business Airport, and has been there since 2014. The airfield recently changed ownership, and the company says exciting times lie ahead.

The company's main training aircraft are the Robinson R22 and R44, and other types can be arranged. It offers the Private Pilot Licence (Helicopters), including flight exercises and ground examinations, as well as courses for pilots who already hold a licence.

Pilots can continue after the PPL with an advanced flying day, a mountain flying course and a night qualification. People who want to try flying can book a trial lesson or join an introductory flying day, which the company offers for team building.

The introductory flight experiences are tours you can choose from, and introductory buzz flights last 15 minutes. Self fly hire is available to suitably trained pilots after a satisfactory check ride with one of the instructors. The company also offers helicopter charter flights.

Some former students have gone on to fly for the police, air ambulance services and offshore operations in the North Sea. The team describes its approach as informal and friendly on the ground, with a clinically professional attitude towards teaching and airmanship.

The company says it can reach the West Midlands, Worcestershire, Shropshire, Staffordshire and Herefordshire within minutes. The team at the Green offers training to the highest standard to help students gain a PPL(H).

The first step is a trial lesson. Every one of the team began by booking a first trial lesson. Enquiries can be made through the contact form.
