PPL H training in Cannes or Milan for UAE national
Good morning
I have posted this on the PPL and instructors forums but no response so I thought I would try here. I wonder if anyone can help with some advice on finding a good school with proficient English speaking instructors for PPL H training in either Milan or Cannes? I have a friend, UAE national, who is interested in learning to fly helicopters and he has asked me to help him look into it. He previously held a PPL A (about 10-15 years ago) and is now interested in possibly obtaining a PPL H. The reason for these locations is that he regularly visits both cities on business and they are both on the Emirates network. His ELP is probably about level 4 so finding an English proficient school is important and he would also require 1 on 1 instruction. In Cannes we have looked at a couple of potential operators and the same in Italy but while it is easy to visit a website I would ideally like to get independent recommendations/contact details as the companies I have contacted on his behalf have not responded in both locations. Questions include: Visa regulations for non European's to obtain flying training as a UAE national? Instructor ELP proficiency and 1 on 1 training capability? R-44 or Cabri G2 are the preferred types Thank you in advance, PP |
Try Azur Helicoptere in Cannes (details below). I have a friend doing training there and speaks well of the school.
Azur Helicoptere Hangar 11, 06150 Cannes La Bocca, FRANCE +33 4 93 90 40 70 www.azurhelico.com |
Thanks RMK. I have written to them but as of now no reply. I will give them a direct call.

Hi Percyprune, Would your friend consider Manchester as an alternative location? It’s on the Emirates network and Helicentre.com have a training school there. |
HeliCentre is a good group, but I must say that’s the the first time I’ve encountered “Hey, have you thought about Manchester”, when the initial idea was to go to the French Riviera. No I’m just joking; they’re quite similar. |
We’ll see...better training airfields than S France, I worked down there for a few years and it’s very limited. VERY expensive too for training at Cannes. Experienced instructors all native English speaking. What’s not to like?! Spot of rain...☔️ |
Hello and thank you for the suggestions.
I personally no issue with Manchester or any UK school and today I was asked to consider looking at the possibility of going there but I have a feeling that he may not see it in the same light as Cannes! He is possibly going there next week for a trail flight with Azur and once done we can work back from there, PP |
