Learn how to fly a helicopter!
Whether you’re taking your first flight or working toward a career in aviation, we have a pathway for you. Begin with an introductory Pilot Experience flight, and then continue your flight training for a Recreational Pilot Licence, Private Pilot Licence, or Commercial Pilot Licence.
Our helicopter licence training is based at Essendon Fields Airport – just 20 minutes from the Melbourne CBD and easy to reach via the Tullamarine Freeway. Flight training from Essendon also means you’ll operate in controlled airspace from day one, building real confidence with radio communication and Air Traffic Control procedures that will serve you throughout your flying career.
Reviews from our student pilots
This by far the best thing I’ve done, thank you Melbourne Heli for an amazing experience from start to finish. Gray was very thorough & explained it all perfectly for a first timer. This is something I’ll never forget & has most certainly stirred my desire to obtain my helicopter license. A great experience
Alex had done an incredible job of taking me from virtually zero helicopter experience a few weeks ago, not even knowing how to start the machine, to being competent to fly it completely on my own. “How was that?” she asked me after my first solo. “Awesome!” I replied, pretty much summing up how good it felt. “Absolutely awesome”.

Thanks guys you are all fantastic instructors. I found learning to fly with Melbourne Heli to be one of the best experiences and you all made the learning to fly effortless. I look forward to seeing you guys grow with more students, people would be crazy to go anywhere else.
Good luck.

Words can’t express how amazing the whole experience was. The views were breathtaking, the helicopter was awesome and my Instructor Chris conducted every part of the lesson from the explanation and info session to the flight itself as well as hovering at the end in a professional and humorous manner that kept me both entertained and feeling safe the entire time.

When I described to my family what it’s like to do a solo circuit I said ‘It’s like your mom driving you to the mall so you can practice driving around the parking lot before the two of you drive home together.’ Except it’s 1000x more rewarding and the ‘car’ is a little more expensive. Soon I’ll be ‘driving to the mall’ all on my own and it’s so surreal and exciting that I’ll be completely solo soon! I love every minute of my training here.

I’ve always had a love of Aviation. My father worked at the airport for 40 years, so I grew up surrounded by people working in the industry and I’ve always been someone who preferred to turn my head to the sky as opposed to the ground. These things coupled made me decide to book in my first flight with Chris. It was love at first flight and I’ve been here ever since.
