The CPL (H) course compromises both flying and intensive ground school to prepare you to become a commerical helicopter pilot. The minimum flying experience required to qualify for the CPL licence is 35 hours. This includes a minimum of 10 hours instruments and 5 hours night flying.

All ground, pre-flight and post-flight briefings are inclusive in the hourly training rate. The flight excercises involve comprehensive briefing by an instructor.

We pride ourselves on the standard of instruction here at Balearic Helicopters and have found that students find the one-to-one instruction more beneficial that the class structure. As far as possible, we endeavour to keep the same instructor with the same student for the majority of the course.

With Balearic Helicopters having 25 years industry experience and a reknowned reputation for the highest quality of training (many of Europe's top helicopter operators have pilots that trained or worked with Balearic Helicopters in the past!) we have the contacts that can put you on the right path for your career!

The Helicopter

The Robinson R44 is the modern helicopter available for training and is ideal for the CPL (H). It is estimated that 85% of all new civilian helicopter pilots are trained on the Robinson 44. The R44 is, typically, the first aircraft that the majority of commerical pilots start their career on, and AOC operators always prefer high time R44 pilots over other helicopter types.

Balearic Helicopters also specialise in EASA Type Rating Training which will allow you to fly larger five place helicopters such as the Robinson R66.

The information provided here will hopefully answer some of the questions you might have, although undoubtedly not all.
