Pilot und flight instructor at Swiss Helicopter

As a helicopter pilot in the transport sector, I decided to reshape my career and complete the Flight Instructor training with Swiss Helicopter.

The FI(H) instructor course is led by motivated and highly experienced instructors and follows the latest standards in pilot training. The course equips every participant with the tools needed for a successful career as an instructor. The highlights of the course are certainly the “candidate with candidate” flights, where aspiring instructors can practice the pedagogical principles they have learned with each other. Special emphasis is also placed on presentation techniques and briefings. Delivering theoretical content becomes easier with every session.

Personally, I see many advantages with the Swiss Helicopter flight school: from all six training bases, interesting and varied training areas are reachable in a short distance. Training is conducted uniformly across all locations. In addition, we have the Cabri G2 — the most modern helicopter in its class — as our training aircraft, featuring numerous safety systems and an ergonomic cockpit design.

I work as a flight instructor at the Bern-Belp base and as a transport pilot in the Bernese Oberland.
