If you’re a recently qualified PPL(H) looking for someone safely to help you expand your experience, I’m available as a safety pilot, drawing on my many years flying helicopters in the UK and around the world.
As a qualified Flight Instructor I offer “further training’ more formally, to those wanting to make the most of their PPL(H).
Whether you’re an owner wanting to make the most of your machine, or a newly qualified pilot renting a school machine, it’s easy to feel that the PPL course has left you qualified, but short of the kind of experience you need to take on more adventurous missions.
Your first landing at a private site, your first foreign trip, your first marginal weather day, your first flight over water; these are the kind of trips where we can all benefit from an extra pair of eyes and ears in the cockpit with us, to make sure we don’t learn the hard way.

Welcome to UniformKilo.com.
This website is all about sharing the fun of learning to fly helicopters, a life-long process, and the sometimes extreme adventures you can have in them.
The site is named after the callsign of my favourite ever helicopter, the Robinson R44 G-BXUK.
I've posted some video of flying that I've done, and some of the best instruction videos I've found from around the world.
It will eventually include every aspect of helicopter training.
If you have some good quality video material to suggest, please get in touch.
Whether you're a student, a helicopter owner, an adventurer, or an instructor, you're welcome to comment with your views and experiences.

First fixed wing, at Biggin Hill and Peterborough Conington, flying mainly Cessna 152s and AA5As.
Then in the 1980s the R22 came along, and I saw the...
