Tactical Helicopter Flying Lesson
About the experience
Flying in a helicopter is one thing, but piloting one is quite another! This helicopter package has been carefully put together to set you on your way in the world of helicopter piloting. You will not just learn how to physically fly the aircraft, but all aspects needed to be a successful pilot. Your fully qualified instructor will run through a safety briefing and talk you through some of the flight theory. Once in the helicopter you will spend 20 minutes in the air, split into three sessions, where you will learn observation skills, how to navigate and flying respectively. You will then take part in an exciting hover challenge to test the skills you have learned, whilst your friends and family are welcome to take pictures of you in action.
What's included?
- 20 minute helicopter pilot lesson for one person (experience lasts 45 minutes overall)
- Your 20-minute flight will be split in to three short sessions lasting 6/7 minutes each – two observation sessions and a hands-on flight with a hover challenge
