7 day Tour de France 2026
Elstree Helicopters Elstree Helicopters, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, United KingdomBack by popular demand... It's another opportunity to join our intrepid aviators as we again take to the air for another Tour de France!
Last time, we embarked on our BIGGEST AV-venture to date. 5 pilots, 4 helis and 4 instructors flew 2,000 nm around France. This 6 day fly out took our intrepid explorers on a whistle stop tour de france no bike required! With the assistance of Capt Elling-Hwang we secured overnights at some of the most incredible châteaux and hotels with spectacular views and as you would expect equally amazing food!
This year, we are going EVEN BIGGER and making it a 7 day fly out!

FREE Ground School – Navigation
Elstree Helicopters Elstree Helicopters, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, United KingdomOn Tuesday 22nd September we will be focusing on Navigation at the usual time 18:00 - 20:00
When flying as PIC (pilot in command), you also need to become a navigator too. It’s critical you are able to apply the correct practices to navigational tasks and developing your navigation skills is the very essence of flying solo, hence the importance of this section of the PPL(H) syllabus.
The ability to Navigate is second only to physically flying the aircraft so to hone your NAV skills will be a huge benefit to your overall competence as a pilot; for student, self fly hirer, commercial pilot or aircraft owner.
