What our customers think
My learning was accelerated by the breadth and depth of the knowledge of my instructor who imparted it at the right occasions during the course of the training. Also, the visualisation of helicopter structures and mechanism of work by the mock-ups and the simulator helped me a great deal.

What our customers think
It was possible to acquire not only flight skill and knowledge of BK117D-3 but also additional knowledge concerning the helicopter.
The instructor was very kind and gave a teaching style that suited each individual. It was a very meaningful training.
