Mountain Flying
Located only 5 minutes from the Tramuntana mountain range, the Mountain Flying Course is a MUST for those wanting to improve all aspects of airmanship skills, whilst developing new techniques, in a stunning and picturesque environment.
Mountain flying demands a delicate balance between judging the wind direction and strength of the wind combined with the ridges and peaks of the mountains along with the power limitations of the helicopter. Mountain flying will improve your general handling skills whilst increasing your knowledge and understanding of the wind, weather and overall airmanship.
The Tramuntana Mountain range in Mallorca is simply stunning. As you approach the mountains you will realise the dramatic mountain formation and height that lies ahead. At 4,500 feet, you will be able to absorb the stunning views of the Balearic Islands, whilst learning how to land at altitude and the considerations of the local variations to wind that will challenge you. This will really push your skills!
The course is based on 5 hours flying and 5 hours of ground school with each flight having a specific objective. By the end of the course you will leave with a feeling of great achievement and the comforting feeling that you have enhanced your existing piloting skills whilst learning new techniques.
