Self fly hire

Self Fly Hire is an exclusive opportunity for licensed helicopter pilots to hire and fly a helicopter around Mallorca and the Balearic Islands under their own control, using The Helicopter Centre’s fleet. This experience is open to pilots of all experience levels who hold the appropriate licence and want to extend their flying beyond formal training.

You can choose to fly one of the centre’s modern training helicopters, including the Robinson R22 or Robinson R44, and explore Mallorca’s stunning scenery from the air. The programme is designed to offer exciting, fun and safe flying all year round, allowing you to combine aviation with adventure and discovery. Many pilots use Self Fly Hire to extend their flying hours, build experience, enjoy sightseeing, or go island-hopping between Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza. Short leisure flights, flights for lunch or coffee stops, and even overnight trips with a return the next day are all possible.

Before your first Self Fly Hire, a Check Flight with one of the centre’s qualified instructors introduces you to the operational procedures at the aerodrome and the local area, ensuring you are comfortable and confident before you take off on your own. This briefing covers local airspace, procedures and best practices for flying safely in the region.

Self Fly Hire is ideal for pilots who want autonomy in their flying experiences, enjoy the freedom of helicopter travel, and want to explore the region at their own pace. Whether you are building flight hours, maintaining currency, or just enjoying recreational flying, Self Fly Hire provides an exceptional way to make the most of your helicopter licence.
