An aviation training first❗️ A fixed price PPL(H) and an end to the unknown cost of getting your own private pilot licence to fly helicopters. 🚁😮
🤝 Come and have an assessment and see if this exciting course with a very experienced team of instructors and the most enjoyable community of like-minded people is what will help you achieve your dream.

Even after all of our hours in the #R66, we still find it amazing to watch the @genesysaerosystems HeliSAS and @garminaviation G500H fly a fully automated runway approach!

After programming the visual approach to our destination in the GTN750, it will calculate a GPS based "localiser" & 3 degree glideslope which get displayed on the G500H in the same way an ILS would show up.
We then press the "VRT" button on the autopilot panel, and the helicopter follows the approach all the way until reaching 40kt.
Great feature!

It's no pot of gold, but we'll take it...🌈 #bri

All of the ICE team are helicopter pilots and passionate about aviation, so it's not just our students who get to fly! We think that any flight, however short, is a fantastic learning experience.

Today we were looking at arrivals and departures to other airfields 🦅🛬

Our flight here was in the Raven II, but we want to know what you guys think of the new(ish) R44 Cadet. Let us know in the comments below 👇

The team are back in the swing of it and getting some flying done in the R44, R66 and G2 before the weekend! 🚁

Will 2020 be your flying year⁉️ Get in touch to have a go and see if it's something for you! 🧑🏻‍✈️ (Warning: it's a bit addictive!)

Steaming along at 125kt @ 80% torque! 🚁💨 Whilst that's not quite supersonic, it's still comfortably faster than the R44 😉

We're loving our MD520 which has just come back from its avionics upgrade to a 'steam gauge' classic 6 pack instrument panel, joined by a modern @garminaviation #GTN650 and the addition of Shadin fuel flow technology! 🎛🛰⛽️

We struggle to go longer than a week without being in a helicopter, so our team have been doing a bit of international heli flying whilst recently abroad! 🙌
🇳🇿 This shot was taken in New Zealand during a flight with our friends at @aucklandhelicopters in their #Cabri #G2 ⛰🌊🚁
They have an outstanding fleet of helicopters available for hire so be sure to check them out if you ever visit! ✅

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of meeting with @oliverdowden.mp and had a walk around the new Elstree Aviation Centre, discussing some of the things we do here.

One of the points we spoke about is the main challenge involved for people to get into a career of flying; the cost of becoming a professional pilot.
Very few other sectors attract such high additional taxes for professional training, so we'd like to see what can be developed to help get more young budding pilots involved in such an exciting industry. 🚁✅ We're keen to help in any ways that we can, so have lots of community outreach projects in the pipeline being planned for #2020 👩🏼‍🎓👨🏻‍🎓

For those who enjoy flying abroad, did you know that you can easily obtain an FAA🇺🇸 private pilot certificate on the basis of having an EASA🇪🇺 licence, with only a small amount of paperwork and a quick visit to the very efficient FAA FSDO.
This means you can #self-fly hire a #helicopter in the USA and log the time as pilot in command! 👨🏻‍✈️
Commercial pilots can also make licence conversions with very little additional training and holding an FAA licence adds another string to your bow should you wish to expand your career abroad.
For more information on how to do this, get in touch and we'd be pleased to help 💁🏻‍♂️
ℹ️ We'll soon have some handy guides on our new website detailing exactly what's needed to convert your licence.

The best time for a London flight? Sunset! 🕢🌅

With London just on our doorstep, one of our favourite things to do is flying down the “heli-lanes”! 🚁🛣
📹 We'll have a video up for you this week showing one of our pilots taking some colleagues from @souvenircollectiongifts on a beautiful trip over the city, showing what flying is really about! 🙌
🤔 If you want to learn how to fly these routes yourself, get in touch and we'd be happy to help! 🤝
