About HTC Helicopter Training + Charter
HTC Helikopter Charter GmbH (brand name Helicopter Training + Charter) was founded in Donaueschingen in 1990 by professional helicopter pilots and flight instructors Volker Grasberger and Kai Naujokat. The company trains private helicopter pilots (PPL-H) and commercial pilots (CPL-H) and, since 2006, has also offered its own flight instructor training. Special areas include external load flying and Vertical Reference Training for pilots and ground crew as well as mountain flying training (MOU). In addition to the flight school, HTC offers helicopter charter, passenger and cargo flights, sightseeing flights, helicopter trips for pilots and, through HTC Luftbild, aerial photographs and panorama images. Over more than 30 years and more than 50,000 hours of flight training, over 500 private and commercial pilots as well as around 80 flight instructors have been trained. Donaueschingen lies between Lake Constance, the Black Forest and the Swabian Alb, close to the Swiss Alps.
