Copter Club

Copter Club is a helicopter flight school in Perpignan, in the Pyrénées-Orientales department of France. The company says it trains students from across the country. It presents itself as a trusted player in the Occitanie region, with more than 20 years of experience in air transport.

The school offers the PPL-H private pilot licence, which is open from age 17, and the CPL-H commercial pilot licence. It also offers the Robinson R44 type rating. Theory can be studied through e-learning at the student's own pace, while practical training takes place in person with instructors in Perpignan.

Instructors are approved by the civil aviation authority and hold FI-H certification. Each student receives personal follow up and regular progress reviews. The school can help students find accommodation in Perpignan when they train there.

The school reports a 100 percent pass rate for the candidates it presented for the PPL-H, CPL-H and type rating exams. Flights can be planned all year, thanks to favourable weather and light airspace traffic around Perpignan.

Beyond training, Copter Club offers an introduction to piloting from 249 euros, a pilot for a day experience, tourist flights and helicopter rental. Routes cover the Mediterranean coast, the Pyrenees and the Catalan hinterland, so pilots can practise over a varied landscape.

The school flies the Robinson R44 and the AS350 B3. Both helicopters are maintained to strict standards. The school is approved by the DGAC as a training organisation, and it is based in Perpignan.
