Training structure
Price and fair billing
Training costs depend on the number of flight minutes and instructor time. We'll prepare a tailored quote — with us you only pay for actual minutes in flight, not from rotor spin-up.
During a full training course, the difference between per-minute and 6-minute billing adds up to tens of thousands of crowns. With us, you only pay for actual flight time.
Frequently asked
Do I have to fly exactly 45 hours?
45 hours is the legal minimum. The realistic average in our school is 50–60 flight hours — it depends on how quickly you master hovering and autorotation. Thanks to per-minute billing you don't pay extra for taxi and preparation.
Can I spread the training over time?
Yes. We schedule training around your availability. Ideally 1–2 lessons per week so skills don't fade. We don't force a strict start-to-finish schedule.
What if I don't finish the licence?
Completed hours never disappear — you can continue later or transfer them to another school. We don't charge cancellation fees.
Do I need my own helicopter?
No. During and after training you can rent a Cabri G2 from us — again with per-minute billing.
