Type rating (TRS)

We offer you type-specific training on all of our helicopters. These type rating courses consists of at least five flying hours, and includes a basic theory course. If you already fly various helicopters, the flying section of type-rating course can be reduced to two flying hours.

It is also possible to charter the helicopter after the course, although we require a minimum of ten hours’ basic flying experience with the new helicopter type if you wish to fly without an instructor.

We will be pleased to provide individual advice on the minimum requirements before the start of training.
