Flying Rewards
Here is a quick update of some of the recent happenings at Advance Helicopters.
We’ve been rattling through various student successes recently including:
1st Solo Flights – Rob and Christian
Cross Country Qualifying Flights – Sara and Alex
Type Rating Tests Passed – Adrian, Tony and Lulu
PPL Tests Passed – Piers, Will, Manuel, Tony
CPL Tests Passed – James and Ed
Congratulations to all our students on passing these great milestones.
We also had a fantastic flyout with four helicopters (see picture above) to West Kent Shooting School. They have a great location to land and provided us with some excellent facilities for a really fun day of clay pigeon shooting. A great day was had by all – just don’t ask who can first and who came last!?!

ELCAS Approval
Advance Helicopters is pleased to announce that it now approved for the MOD’s Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS) scheme.
This means that we can now offer armed services personnel the opportunity to use their Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) to help pay for their pilot training.
The ELCAS scheme can be a very valuable financial help to service personnel looking at training as a pilot. Now with Advance Helicopters ELCAS approval any scheme payments can be made direct to the training provider making life quick and easy for the candidate. 15

In House Examiner
Advance Helicopters is pleased to announce that it now has an in-house Flight Examiner (FE).
Thanks to our Head of Training now gaining his Flight Examiner rating we are able to offer PPL(H) Skills Tests and Proficiency Checks with even more convenience and flexibility than before.
This adds to our in-house skill set on top of the services we could already offer such as Ground Examiner and Instrument Proficiency Checks.
