And, of course, enjoy an independent flight over London, and see all the famous sights from above. You will see how the air traffic is organized in the Albion zone, where there are a large number of airfields within the city limits. We will surely fly by helicopter pilots' favorite route: from Denham Airport through the ARP of the Northholt airfield, from where the queen usually flies, over the River Thames from Chelsea we reach Greenwich past the Big Ben and the famous bridges. On the way back we will see the southern part of the capital, and cross the Heathrow runway.
Such a flight is important for understanding the capabilities of air traffic control and the place of a private helicopter pilot in it.
The culmination of the flight for all pilots who have previously flown this route is a flight over London.
“Pilots leave the helicopter after landing with delight on their faces and a question - Why, why do they allow it? I always give the same answer: Do you consider yourself a pilot ?! So, they consider you a pilot, too! Responsible, well-trained and competent. You must always be up to this attitude!” Sergey Melnikov says.
The program is adapted for experienced pilots, beginners and travel enthusiasts. If necessary, you will be accompanied by experienced instructors. If you have a pilot’s license but don’t have a helicopter, we will help you rent it.
