Sydney’s Most Trusted Helicopter Instructors
Behind every great pilot is a mentor who has been there before.
At The Main Rotor Hub, our instructors don’t just teach you to fly; they prepare you for a career in the skies.
Our lead instructors, Alex Sekulic and Greg Kotzabasakis, are well-known names in the Sydney aviation circuit. For years, they were the driving force behind the reputation of Helicopter Transport and Training (HTT). Today, they have brought that same "student-first" philosophy and a combined history of thousands of flight hours to The Main Rotor Hub.
Along with our CEO and Instructor Adam Hastings, they have created a "Power Trio" dedicated to safety, precision, and the art of vertical flight.
