We, at Balearic Helicopters, have found that many PPL's would like to further their knowledge, or just simply gain more experience in certain areas of helicopter flying that they are not entirely familiar with. We are a Team Member of EHEST, the European Helicopter Safety Team, and EHEST have devised a set of Safety Leaflets based on the most common form of helicopter accidents. We have taken the Safety Leaflets one step further and designed specific courses using the EHEST Safety Leaflets as the course guide.

For this reason Balearic Helicopters have devised several refresher courses for helicopter pilots. They involve four hours flight training, but also focuses more on the ground training side.

The course is run over a two day period, which is perfect to escape to Mallorca for a long weekend!

We can help arrange accommodation and special discounted car hire whilst you are here.

 
The courses available are:

1. Airmanship & Safety

Always essential training in any helicopter. You will recap all the variations of speed, RRPM and turning in autorotation. It's also a good time to perfect that flare...and many pilots have never completed full touchdown autorotations!

Most pilots know what actions to take in emergency, but many don't know why. Balearic Helicopters goes in depth into all the emergencies in the flight manual. For example - what keeps RPM in the green when flying without the Governor? It is not primarily the Throttle. Don't know the answer - then contact us!

2. Coastal & Overwater Operations

Mallorca and the Balearic Islands stunning coastline provides the perfect playground to practice overwater skills safely, enhancing both confidence and safety..

This specialised course is designed to build pilot confidence, decision-making, and safety awareness when operating over open water — an environment that demands heightened preparation, situational awareness, and discipline

3. Confined Areas & Advanced Power Management

The pinnacle of your PPL training, but how often has it been used since the skills test. Can you remember the 5 S's or why they're important? We start with basic confined areas, and then they get progressively harder. It culminates with a true life confined area into a hotel.

What happens when an R44 over pitches? How do you recover? There are many cases of accidents and incidents where power was involved due to weight, aircraft performance and atmospheric conditions. Remeber the 4 H's - Heavy, Hot, High and Humid.... Learn how to recognise the symptoms and recover the situation.

4. Advanced Manoeuvres

Master precision control with advanced hovering, smooth transitions, limited-power operations, confined area techniques, and dynamic emergency procedures — all designed to sharpen accuracy, anticipation, and aircraft management. This skill-based course transforms good pilots into confident, capable decision-makers who can handle demanding situations with precision and professionalism
