Elstree Helicopters

Elstree Helicopters is a family run helicopter flying school at Elstree Aerodrome in Hertfordshire, on the north west edge of London. It moved to Elstree in 2012 and has taught private pilot courses since 1999, and it is a CAA approved training organisation for helicopters. Students learn for the PPL(H) or LAPL(H) on the Robinson R22, Robinson R44 and Guimbal Cabri G2, and can add a turbine type rating on the Bell 206 JetRanger. Ground school is offered in person and online. Trial lessons are sold for each type, from GBP 178 in the R22, and there is also a London Olympic Skyline lesson. Qualified pilots can rent aircraft through self fly hire and take part in group trips to places such as Le Touquet in France, the Isle of Wight and Norfolk. Proficiency checks and gift vouchers are also available.
