Your helicopter flying lesson kicks off with a pre-flight briefing by your instructor who will explain what each control does. Then it's time to strap into the Robinson 22 training helicopter and fire up the engine.
Once your pilot has you safely in the air you'll be passed each of the controls in turn to experience their effects on the aircraft. Watch your altitude, keep your eyes on the horizon... and don't forget to admire the views as your cruise at 1,500 feet above your chosen area. Then you'll return to the airfield to try your hand at hovering a helicopter 30 feet above the ground.
At the end of your trial helicopter flying lesson you'll receive a certificate to remind you of your thrilling helicopter flight.
