It is not necessarily the glamour and excitement that helicopters bring with them but their versatility and convenience.  Helicopters are not limited to flying from airfields – they can fly from suitable lawns, fields or car parks as well as heliports and airports.  Stepping out of the house or hotel front door into the helicopter, being airborne within minutes and at the final destination in a fraction of the time that a car journey would take has its appeal when time is of the essence.

It is no coincidence that so many of them have taken the trouble to learn to fly helicopters for themselves.  They have experienced the aircraft from the passenger seat and get the urge to sit in the pilot’s seat!  There are increasing numbers of rock stars, TV & Radio presenters and sportsmen who are joining the ranks of business people and private individuals who enjoy the personal challenge of learning to fly helicopters and have seen the advantages of being able to fly themselves around the country quickly and conveniently.
