Jonathan Symons - PPL (H), R22, R44 - June 2011 - (Read More…)
Jonathan is another one of our students who wanted to get through his training fairly swiftly, and he did just that. Going solo in the R22 in only 22.5 hours, was a massive achievement, and testament to his natural ability behind the controls. Jonathan benefited from the nice weather throughout the summer months and was able to spend most days here with us at Phoenix Helicopters, to complete his PPL (H) in less than three months. A very impressive achievement!!
Ken Brackwell - PPL (H), R22 - May 2011 - (Read More…)

Sean Larsen - PPL (H), R22 - November 2010 - (Read More…)
Sean is a fantastic example of how you can achieve your PPL (H) on a budget. Flying helicopters was something that Sean had always wanted to do, and so throughout his time studying at college and university he saved hard to ensure that he had enough money to get him through his PPL (H).
