Night Flight Training (NFQ/ NIT) – Greater Temporal Freedom

A helicopter flight at night is even more fascinating than during the day. Illuminated cities and roads combined with the darkness of the sky hold a special charm. To allow you to savor this charm at any time and with complete independence, this advanced training covers everything you need to fly safely at night. This will also make you more time-independent, a significant advantage especially during the dark winter months.

CVFR Training – Airspace Freedom

If you hold an older PPL(H) license according to ICAO standards and wish to convert it to the more recent and higher-value EASA license, you’ll need CVFR training. This CVFR authorization grants you access to airspace Charlie, further enhancing your independence. During this training, you’ll acquire skills in visual flight radio navigation, radar and ILS approaches, and much more.

Instrument Rating IR(H) on Bell 206

Holding an instrument rating- IR(H) –  has been a requirement for new pilots to fly in offshore operations for many years. Now, operators of VIP or business aviation helicopters or EMS operators request this qualification from new pilots as well to ensure safe flight operations during night and marginal weather conditions.

Therefore, the qualification to fly in IMC conditions gets increasingly more important for commercial helicopter pilots.
