About HQ Aviation

HQ Aviation is a helicopter flying school based at Denham Aerodrome, well placed for customers in and around London. It presents itself as a full service operator, combining pilot training with helicopter hire, engineering support and sales. For newcomers, the school promotes discovery flights as genuinely hands on sessions. For aspiring pilots, HQ Aviation offers a clear pathway from private helicopter training through to commercial training, plus follow on options such as night flying and type training. A standout strength is breadth beyond training: a large self fly hire and leasing capability, and an approved maintenance facility with engineers who work on Robinson and Cabri helicopters. The company was established by Quentin "Q" Smith and leans into a club style atmosphere.
