We will focus on\, among others; Taxiways\, high altitude operations\, signals\, aerodrome procedures and marshalling signals but welcome any suggestions or questions you have across the topic. \n\n\n\nWe will meet at the flying school or in our Virtual Crew Room via ‘ZOOM’. Please RSVP and look out for an invitation from Capt. White \n\n\n\nIf you haven’t been before then why not give it a try! Whether you are currently training or a qualified pilot escape into our virtual crew room and enjoy a couple of hours of pilot chat!

SUMMARY:FREE Ground School - Navigation
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 27th May we will be focusing on Navigation at the usual time 18:00 – 20:00 \n\n\n\nWhen flying as PIC (pilot in command)\, you also need to become a navigator too.

Specific topics to be confirmed \n\n\n\nWe will meet at the flying school or in our Virtual Crew Room \n\n\n\nFirst time? Whether you are a seasoned flyer or just beginning your flying journey\, this week’s ground school is for you… Escape into our virtual crew room and enjoy a couple of hours of pilot chat! \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP via email to training@elstreehelicopters.co.uk whether you are joining us in person or online\, and look out for an invitation from Capt.

SUMMARY:Student Trip to Padstow Summer 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we head South West to Padstow\, Cornwall. Landing at Rock we then transfer to the ferry by golf buggy before we head into Padstow for a well earned pasty or fish and chips by the harbour followed by an ice cream or cream tea. Take in the sea air as we stroll around the port and or for the more brave make your way down the beach and dip a toe in the water before heading back to the ferry and back to Elstree. \nIf you are currently learning to fly our student trips are great practise for navigation\, straight and level flight and radio work as well of course as being jolly good fun! Already passed? These trips are a great excuse to use your PPL\, hone your skills\, hour build or just spend time with other pilots. Aircraft owners are also welcome to join us\, the more the merrier! \nFor full details please get in touch. Spaces on our trips are always fiercely sort after so get in quick!
