Helicopter Flying Lesson

Whether you are trying to beat the traffic, or simply want a bird's eye view of the countryside, there is no more stylish way to travel than by helicopter.

The special skill and co-ordination required to fly helicopters is generally more challenging than flying fixed-wing aircraft - so you'll feel a great sense of achievement once you've mastered it!

You will typically be taking to the skies in a Robinson R22 helicopter which has two seats - one for you and one for the pilot - and dual controls.

Go on, put a smile on someone's face...



Typical Programme
You begin your activity with a briefing from one of our expert instructors, to familiarise yourself with the technology and controls of the helicopter.

During the flight you'll have the opportunity to fly the helicopter yourself and to practise manoeuvring and hovering.
