Learn to fly a helicopter

What is the main difference between learning to fly helicopters with EBG and other organisations in the UK? Come and see for yourself. We are a professional helicopter club set up by enthusiasts for enthusiasts who fly for enjoyment in a relaxed but safe environment.

WHY LEARN TO FLY HELICOPTERS?

  • There are 12,000 - 15,000 light aircraft in the UK and only 1,400 helicopters
  • Join an elite group of people. Learn to do something that's completely different.
  • It is a skilled activity and will stretch you as an individual (though not that difficult to learn!)
  • It's great fun and the fastest way to move around the UK. You can land a helicopter anywhere you like, with the landowners permission. This includes, pubs, hotels, golf clubs, restaurants and even your garden.
