Helicopters are extremely versatile and fascinating machines. If you have a suitable landing and take off area at your home or work place then we can often provide you with a door-to-door service saving valuable time. Suitable landing areas must have a nice clear approach - no low flying over tall trees, houses, wires etc and the actual landing point should be at least the size of a tennis court. Travelling by helicopter is fast and efficient, avoiding road traffic jams and speed cameras. In some instances a helicopter is the only practical way to access remote locations. We have a dedicated TV video helicopter regularly booked by the BBC, ITV and independent TV companies to get those super smooth aerial video shots. Training – we provide CAA approved training for Private Pilots Licences, Commercial Pilots Licences or Instructor ratings. Weddings – book a helicopter for the finishing touch to your special day. More information on our wedding services can be found on the Wedding menu link. Arriving in style at an event or party, you and your friends can share the cost of chartering the helicopter. Special Events - Galas, Rally’s, Game Fairs, County Shows. Have a helicopter offering pleasure flights - a thrill for everyone! Helicopters at events have proven to increase numbers attending as they add that little extra buzz to the day. Hields Aviation can also provide a static helicopter display and fly-pasts from its classical fleet. Whilst our aircraft are normally based in Yorkshire, we co-operate with several other major helicopter and fixed-wing operators. Between us we cost-effectively cover the entire United Kingdom. Hields Aviation is therefore able to manage and arrange flights to and from any location and select the best options for you. We now offer fixed wing training to gain your PPL at our new site at Leeds Bradford Airport. Call Sam for details on all our training and flight services.
