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 flying a 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! This helicopter flying experience is the perfect gift idea for anyone who wants to see whether they can handle a helicopter flying lesson.

You begin your activity with a briefing from one of our expert helicopter flying instructors, to familiarise yourself with the technology and controls of the helicopter. 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. During the flight you'll have the opportunity to fly the helicopter yourself and to practice manoeuvring and hovering.
