Why us
Training that doesn't overcharge
We bill only actual flight minutes

Safest helicopter in its class
The Cabri G2 has a fenestron, crash-resistant composite cabin and an autorotation system designed for training.
Personal approach
You're not a number in a system. You get your own instructor and a training plan tailored to your schedule.
Approved ATO
Certified flight school under CAA supervision. Your licence is valid across the EASA area.
Instructors with real-world operational experience
Our instructors bring experience from mountain operations (MOU(H) holders), air rescue and VIP transport.
Modular training
The path to becoming a professional pilot
From your first discovery flight to your instructor licence. A clear overview of the key milestones along the way.
PPL(H) — first licence
Private helicopter pilot training. Minimum 45 flight hours, 9 theory subjects and a final CAA practical exam.
The first step on the path to professional flying.
Class 1 medical
For CPL(H) you need an extended Class 1 medical certificate. We recommend starting it before or during PPL(H).
Class 2 is enough for PPL(H); commercial flying requires Class 1.
First solo — around 12 hours
Under instructor supervision you progress to flying on your own. The first solo is a traditional milestone for every pilot.
The actual time depends on how quickly you master the basic manoeuvres.
Timebuilding
Building hours to meet CPL(H) entry requirements — at least 155 hours before starting the CPL module, 185 hours total.
Per-minute billing saves you money even during hour-building.
CPL/ATPL theory exams
14 theory subjects in extended scope. You must pass them before the final CPL(H) practical skill test.
Exams are taken at the CAA in Czech or English.
CPL(H) — commercial pilot
Top-up training of 30 hours dual, including 10 hours instrument flight and 5 hours night flying. Final practical skill test.
Opens the door to paid flying — transport, instructor, HEMS.
FI(H) / further ratings
After CPL(H) you can continue to become a flight instructor FI(H) or add a night rating NIT and type rating.
The most common career path: instructor at a flight school.
