The Private Helicopter Pilot License PPL(H) authorizes the pilot to conduct private, recreational, or sport flights in a helicopter for which they have a type rating, during the day and with ground visibility. The license holder is entitled to carry out flights only for private purposes; they can have passengers on board but cannot fly for remuneration. The Private Helicopter Pilot License is the basic license for all those interested in pilot training who want to become professional pilots.
Applicants for the PPL(H) license, who already hold a pilot license in another category of aircraft, excluding balloons, can credit 10% of their total flight time as Pilot in Command (PIC), up to a maximum of 6 hours.
Holders of the LAPL(H) license can credit their entire LAPL training.
The Private Helicopter Pilot License PPL(H) is the basic license for starting a career as a professional helicopter pilot. Although it is a basic step in a professional aviation career, the license authorizes the holder to fly only for private purposes, meaning it is not possible to fly for remuneration. However, with the Private Pilot License, gaining flight experience and appropriate theory knowledge, you can become an instructor at a flight school for training private helicopter pilots.

The price you will have to pay to learn to fly and obtain a pilot’s license varies from person to person and depends on many factors. The price should not be the main factor in deciding where to get your pilot’s license. When it comes to flight training, cheap is rarely good.
Basic factors affecting the cost of training:
Your goals in flying have a significant impact on how your overall flight training will be conducted. If you want to fly only recreationally, training in an aircraft with lighter avionics will be significantly cheaper than compared to a businessman or future professional pilot.
The price of pilot training for individual pilot licenses is set in connection with the number of flight hours in the curriculum, the time of ground preparations, and theoretical instruction in the classroom. Further, it is necessary to count additional expenses for landing and other airport fees and fees for exams at authorities and payments for obtaining necessary permits for training.
