Commercial Pilots Licence

Helicentre Aviation's Coventry Airport base is the ideal place to complete the commercial course. The airport is open 24/7 and the night flying, which consists of 5 hours flight training, can all be carried out in-house as part of the 35 hour CPL(H) course. This avoids incurring costly handling charges that other airports may apply in order to stay open at night.

The approved CPL(H) flight course, consists of a minimum of 30 hours dual flight instruction, including 10 hours of simulated instrument instruction.You will also need to pass the CAA CPL(H) skill test, which Helicentre Aviation can arrange for you, and don't forget our team will be on hand to help and guide you every step of the way towards becoming a professional helicopter pilot.
