TRIAL-FLIGHT
PASSION SINCE THE FIRST FLIGHT
The first step to be a pilot. After a brief theoretical introduction, you will go on an unforgettable journey with one of our experienced instructors.
There is no nearly fair description to put the fascination of three-dimensional flying into words. You have to experience that once to control a helicopter yourself ... ..
From the age of 16, you can enjoy up to two hours of double-tax trial flights without any formalities. If you subsequently decide for an apprenticeship, these hours will be fully credited to your education. We offer trial flights on our two-seater Cabri G2 training helicopter. If you want to experience your flight together with friends, then our four-seater Robinson R44 or the five-station turbine helicopter EC120 Colibri is at your disposal.
PRIVAT PILOT PPL(H)
BE A PILOT
After a trial flight, the acquisition of the private pilot license is the basis for any further license or extension. The private pilot is entitled to carry passengers inland and abroad with passengers and may land in Switzerland outside of airfields. The training consists of a theoretical and a practical part and is each concluded with an examination by an expert of the FOCA (Federal Office of Civil Aviation).
Prerequisite for the practical start of training:
- Medical Class II must be available from a FOCA medical officer
- A current excerpt from the criminal record must be available at the latest before the practical examination
The minimum age for obtaining the PPL (H) license is 17 years. (Minors require parental consent). The necessary forms and a list of medical officers can be obtained from us.

Commercial Pilot CPL(H)
RESPONSIBILITY
This training is a real challenge!
Only professional pilots are allowed to carry out commercial flights, which makes employment in a helicopter company possible.
We offer our trainees an individual, customized training. Practice and theory are coordinated and usually trained extra-occupationally.
The training consists of two steps. In a first step, the private pilot license is acquired. Then, in a second step, the professional pilot's course is completed (at least 30 hours of flight time at the double tax). The minimum number of hours to take the skill test is 185 hours.
IMPORTANT: We recommend that anyone interested in the CPL (H) training complete the medical aptitude tests (Medical Class I) prior to beginning training. The initial examination for physical fitness takes place at the Aviation Medical Institute Dübendorf (FAI) or Swiss Medical Center at Zurich Airport. All recurrent examinations can then be carried out by a medical officer of the Federal Office of Civil Aviation.

THE MAGIC OF THE MOUNTAIN
This extension is the absolute highlight in helicopter flying and a Swiss training.
All pilots who have completed the mountain training, one hears the same statements:
Quote: "unbelievably exciting and unforgettable moments with dreamscapes, but also very demanding".
The training can take place depending on the weather on several consecutive days. During the day an intensive mountain training with numerous landings on different mountain landing places is completed and in the evening in a cozy mountain hut the day is rounded off with some theory, before the hut warden serves a fine fondue.
The FOCA requires the pilot to have a total flight experience of at least 100 hours after completing this training.
