The first step toward becoming a helicopter pilot.
The training
From your first lesson to your own licence
Earning a PPL(H) (Private Pilot Licence – Helicopter) is the first step toward becoming a helicopter pilot. The licence gives you the right to fly privately and bring friends and family along as passengers – for trips, experiences and the freedom to discover Sweden from the air.
The training is also the foundation for those who want to continue toward a commercial pilot licence (CPL-H) through modular training.
We tailor the training to each student. Some learn quickly, others need more time to feel comfortable with the helicopter's particular flight characteristics – and that is entirely natural. Flight training takes place in the Stockholm area (Åkersberga) with experienced instructors and modern training helicopters.
