private pilot training PPL-H

              Privatpiloten Ausbildung PPL-H

Private pilot training is the first step on the career ladder for many professional pilots.
In at least 45 hours of flying and the associated theory lessons, you will be taught the necessary tools of a helicopter pilot. This entitles the pilot to carry out private, free flights. We carry out the pilot training in cooperation with Bodensee-Helicopter GmbH at the Friedrichshafen location.

The practical training is divided as follows:

• Hovering exercises, climbing and descending, take-offs and landings
• Attitude flying, slope landings, navigation, off-road landings, etc.
• Emergency procedures, e.g. autorotations, warning lights, vortex ring state
• 10 hours of solo flights, including one solo navigation flight with 2 stopovers
• Exam preparation

The theoretical training is divided into the following subjects:

• Aviation law - national and international regulations
• Human performance - influence of the human body on flying
