There is no need to describe
the technical efficiency and the sense of magic associated
with helicopters, machines that can take off and land vertically,
hover motionless in the air and, above all, reach areas
which are totally inaccessible to other types of aircraft.
It is well known that helicopters are frequently used in
mountainous areas for all of the above reasons. A helicopter
in flight is always a marvelous sight, regardless of whether
you are a novice or already committed to flying.

In the last few years, a new lightweight
helicopter has been developed, which is classified as a
micro-light. This type of helicopter is now in use in many
European countries and the U.S.A. These single or two-seater
machines with modern thermal engines have made helicopter
flying accessible to a much greater number of people.
