In other words, not only do we apply our expertise to the training itself, but, above all, we also know what’s essential in day-to-day flying.

We are convinced that in future this training path will play a major role in many companies' day-to-day flight operations. The practical training content of the course is identical to the CPL(H) professional helicopter pilot’s licence. So opt for the ATPL(H)-VFR theoretical training in conjunction with the eAcademy and ensure that you are well prepared for the future!

Intelligent next-level learning on your PC revolutionises the theoretical training to become a helicopter pilot. AIR LLOYD is the first helicopter flight school in Germany to offer its own distance learning course plus the appropriate practical training.

The eAcademy offers a state-of-the-art learning concept that is perfectly tailored to your needs, both methodologically and technologically. And you know what?... You can learn when, where and how it works best for you!

When you study with the eAcademy you will be assigned interactive learning material, chapter by chapter, depending on the licence you are training for. You work it through each chapter independently and then answer topic-related test questions to see how well you’ve done. In this way, you consolidate your knowledge as you learn!
Instructors are always aware of each student’s individual training level, as the integrated ‘track and report’ component automatically documents study times and results as a background process. The eAcademy courses should be understood as individual courses. As a flight school, we then put together a variety of courses for you depending on your personal requirements and those of the authorities.
