Fly a Helicopter and Plane

Fly a Helicopter and Plane

Double the fun with both a plane flying lesson and a helicopter flying lesson! These lessons are the perfect start for any beginner looking to get their wings.

If you're struggling to decide whether a plane or helicopter is for you, then these combined lessons are the perfect chance for you to try out both forms of flying.

A qualified pilot will take you through a classroom lesson before both flights, something you will learn very quickly is that flying a plane and a helicopter are two very different things and so different techniques will be needed for each one.

Your time in the air will consist of putting into practice all that you learnt on the ground. Your instructor will demonstrate different manoeuvres and will let you take the controls if he feels you are ready and you feel confident enough to do so.

These are fun experiences that can be a good starting platform for anyone looking to take their lessons further and train for their PPL.
