Hello to all,
Just a question: please, could someone suggest me a good helicopter flight school offering excellent instructors for FI(H) courses in UK?

Thanks guys!

There is only one place really, go and see Mike Green and Leon Smith at Helicopter Services at High Wycombe.:ok:

R22 FI(H) courses.
 

Hey thanks a lot for your quick reply Huges500 & Ersa.
Well, FI(H) course on R22 helicopter?

Thanks a lot again guys!

Mike Buckland at HeliAir Gloucester. Best man for the job, in my experience.

Have not flown with Mike Green, but Mike Buckland and Leon Smith are both very good, and defiantly recomended.

Ok tu154 & Redland
Are these flight instructors able to teach FI(H) students on R22 helo?

Thanks! :-)

Mike Green and Leon both use the R22. You would be mad not to use them ! You will also meet a lot of useful contacts at Heliservices !

Has anybody got any info on Heli Transair in Egelsbach (Germany)? I thought about doing some training with them and have already visited them. Seems loke a good school.

Any more info by PM wold be greatly appreciated :ok:

Bye

I agree with you Huges!
I asked this to be sure about helicopter type in use.
A lot of flight schools in EASAland (and in USA) still use S300..

Ok, great...
Thanks!

Hi Chico

I'd say if you're looking for quality, as per the above suggestions, the list should include Duncan Bickley at Aeromega in Cambridge.

I should declare an interest; I instructed there for a couple of years, after doing my FI course there in 2011.

I found the FI course to be rigorous and, well, just seriously good. I came to it with 1000 private-owner hours in both turbines and in piston Robinsons, and learned a lot while flying with Duncan, both about how to teach and how to use the R22 safely as a training machine.

While working there I was encouraged to develop my skills further as part of a very professionally managed set-up. The whole ethos is sound.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
 

Hey, thanks for your suggestion UniformKilo!
Yes, I'm sure I'll go and meet all of them at Helicopter Services Ltd., HeliAir, Central helic. and Aeromega.
I'm seeking, of course, for the most reasonable training / costs ratio.
Unfortunately I haven't got unlimited economic resources...
However I really want to convert my FAA CFI rating into EASA FI(H) on my EASA Commercial licence according to CAA UK CAP804 (30hours ground school an 15 of flight).

Thanks a lot boys!

FI(H) in the UK
 

Hi guys,

I am looking at a good FI(H) school in the UK preferably (but would also look elsewhere in europe). Are the suggestions from above thread last year still actual?

That is should I still look at the below;

Helicopter Services Ltd
HeliAir
Central helicopter
Aeromega

Any other suggestion?

What about www.nheli.se (in Sweden) and Helicentre Aviation? I have met them both at Helitech a few years ago and they seemed a good option to me.

Let me know your unbiased views on the above please.

Can Highly recommend these :
