Helicopter Practice

Hover over a pad, follow a mountain valley, and bring your helicopter down on a rooftop.

Helicopter Practice is a single-player browser flight sim built around helicopter handling, careful approaches and precise landings. Manage collective, cyclic and pedals as momentum, power and rotor speed shape your flight.

Set it up your way

Choose WARDOGS, Arma 3 or Battlefield 6 as your starting preset, then adjust the handling to suit you. Configure stability, auto-hover and envelope protection in Flight assists, with turn coordination and deeper handling overrides in Advanced. These are practice approximations on a shared utility helicopter.

Want to go deeper? Explore 99 flight-model settings covering the airframe, main and tail rotors, engine, aerodynamics, landing gear and more. Export your flight preset, share it with another pilot, or import a different tune.

Put your setup to the test

• Eight scenarios: learn the basics, fly circuits, navigate valleys, approach rooftops, manage limited fuel, tackle mountain landings, practise engine failures and fly at night.
• Five focused drills: Hover Box, Precision Touchdown, Quick Stop, J-Hook Approach and Descent Discipline.
• Rebindable controls: configure keyboard and mouse bindings, plus compatible gamepad and HOTAS inputs.
• Three camera views: cockpit instruments, chase view and a cinematic orbit.
• Local progress: settings, landing grades and personal bests saved in your browser.

Your first flight

Choose Flight School from the flight library.

Move the mouse or trackpad to command pitch and roll; stopping releases the cyclic without cancelling momentum. Hold W / S for collective up / down; release for neutral thrust in flight or idle on the ground. Arrow keys provide sustained cyclic, A / D controls yaw, C changes camera, and Esc opens the menu. Controls can be rebound.

Returning pilots: choose your game again in Settings → General to apply the updated controls. Older saved and imported tunes preserve their original behavior.

Requirements

A desktop browser with WebGL 2 support and a keyboard with a mouse or trackpad. Controller and HOTAS compatibility depends on what your browser exposes. Mobile touch controls are not included.

Comparison presets inspired by other games are experimental approximations. Helicopter Practice is an independent project.
