Slightly surprising facts about our Extreme Pilots Experiences
- The Robinson R22 Beta Helicopter we use for our Helicopter Trial Lesson Away Day has been used as a livestock management tool on large ranches in North America and cattle stations in Austraila, but we think its much cooler to use it to do aerobatic manouvers!
-
CAA stands for the Civial Aviation Authority, who are the body responsible for deciding whether or not you pass your pilot's license exam, so our 45 hour basic flight course will definatley come in handy before taking the exam.

Customer Reviews of our Extreme Pilots Experiences
This was the best gift ever. Still can't believe my wife got it for me! Spent a whole day learning how to fly a helicopter and wasn't bored once.
Alex Rodgers

Expensive, but worth it. Learned so much about flying helicopters and what to look out for and we spent a really long time actually flying in the helicopter. I don't know if I can do it again - but I want too!
