An Assessment of Competence with our FIE(H) based on TK knowledge, breifings and minimum 1 hour flight

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. Balearic Helicopters has 2 Full Time FIC Instructors on site in Mallorca.

With Balearic Helicopters having 25 years industry experience and a renowned 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! We also offer the option for the best candidates to remain with Balearic Helicopters and work as a flight instructor in Mallorca

The Helicopter

The Robinson R44 is the modern helicopter available for training and is ideal for the FI(H). It is estimated that 85% of all new civilian helicopter pilots are trained on the Robinson 44.

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.
