SUMMARY:7 day Tour de France 2026
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand… It’s another opportunity to join our intrepid aviators as we again take to the air for another Tour de France! \n\nLast 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!\n\n \nThis year\, we are going EVEN BIGGER and making it a 7 day fly out!\n \nInterested? Take a look at our YouTube channel to ride along with our pilots from previous years. You can also read their reflection on the trip here:Capt Langdon’s ReflectionCapt McDonall’s Reflection \nIs this trip for me? If you are PPL holder our trips are great excuse to use your license\, hone your skills\, hour build or just spend time with other pilots.

SUMMARY:FREE Ground School - Navigation
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 22nd September 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. 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. \n\n\n\nThe 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. 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. White.

SUMMARY:FREE Ground School - Radio and Communications
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 13th October ground school will be learning how to talk on the radio as we explore Radio and Comms. \n\n\n\nSounding competent when using the radio is an essential part of flying. Often students can be nervous when making a call to the tower or Air Traffic Control but with training and plenty of practice you’ll be reciting your callsign in your in your sleep…  Our hot topics will be Elstree RT Procedures\, zone transits\, Q codes\, transmission of time and readability scale and lots more. \n\n\n\nWhether you are currently learning to fly\, studying for your RT oral or Comms exam or just want to brush up your radio skills\, this is the perfect session to practise talking on the radio without having to fly at the same time! \n\n\n\nBest in person meet at the flying school or in our Virtual Crew Room from 6pm and don’t forget to RSVP! \n\n\n\nRSVP via email to training@elstreehelicopters.co.ukFirst time? Whether you are currently training or a qualified pilot join us for this incredible session.
