R66 Turbine Hour Building
Build R66 turbine hours in Iceland's most demanding terrain, gaining real-world experience that goes beyond PPL or CPL.
The Experience
Volcano Heli offers an unparalleled turbine flight training experience in one of the world’s most unique and challenging environments. Iceland features glaciers, volcanoes, and vast expanses of uncontrolled airspace, providing the perfect environment for exploring new flight paths and practising off-airport manoeuvres from the cockpit.
The ever-changing Icelandic weather provides demanding but rewarding flying conditions, helping pilots grow more adaptable, skilled, and confident. Each flight challenges you to think critically and react decisively, strengthening your abilities in a way few other environments can offer.
The Details
We offer R66 turbine hour building and type rating under the guidance of experienced EASA/FAA-certified instructors. These sessions go beyond standard procedures, focusing on mountain flight tactics, pinnacle landings, and glacier approach techniques. You will learn to navigate the performance limits of the turbine engine in diverse altitudes and changeable meteorological conditions. This is a unique opportunity to sharpen your situational awareness and terrain-working skills while operating over some of the most complex and technically demanding terrain in Iceland.
