Enjoy a panoramic flight over the Rila Mountains and feel the thrill of piloting
Panicharevo Airport offers several panoramic flight routes, as well as pilot training through various programs using its own aircraft and helicopters
Aeroclub Panicharevo trains pilots from zero experience through the practical exam, on our own aircraft.
Navigation, radio procedures, emergency procedures, and cross-country flights — from first lesson to licensed pilot.

Rotorcraft training with experienced instructors: hovering, autorotation, navigation flights, and emergency procedures.

All flights depart from Panicharevo Airport, weather permitting.



Our Piper Arrow IV, normally used for PPL-A training, serves as backup aircraft for panoramic flights.
Prices are per flight, not per person.
Helicopter hire is always arranged with a pilot. Alongside panoramic flights, we consider private R44 services individually according to the location, permissions, weather and operational conditions.
For helicopter hire for weddings, a Robinson R44 wedding flight may be considered for a couple’s arrival or departure, a panoramic flight, a photo shoot, or a special surprise. Landing at a particular venue is never promised: it is confirmed in advance according to terrain, permissions, weather and operational conditions.
A private helicopter transfer is assessed individually for route, destination, landing options and operational feasibility. For promotional or corporate events, including product launches, branded photo/video shoots and event appearances, the service is arranged individually according to the location, event requirements and applicable operational conditions. Photo and video requests may include static or promotional shoots, event photography, ground-based video and custom visual productions involving the R44; specialist aerial filming is not implied.
The Rila Lakes, the summer Paneurhythmy gathering on the plateau, and the ridgeline in winter — all shot from our own aircraft.
