Helicopter Lessons (60 mins) - £299

What does the activity include?

Learn to fly a Robinson R22 helicopter with this 60 minute flying lesson. Flights operate across the UK, so after you've chosen your preferred location you'll be shown how to control the dual control helicopter during a one hour flying experience you'll remember forever!

  • Welcoming and briefing.
  • Enjoy a 60 minute lesson in a Robinson R22 helicopter with an experienced pilot by your side.
  • This experience can also be used to go towards getting your pilot's licence if you wish to do so.

Enjoy a spectacular hour at the controls of a helicopter at more than a dozen locations nationwide. This first step into the world of the ‘chopper’ isn't to be missed, whether you are curious about helicopter travel or are interested in the ultimate career change. Impress your boss by handing in your notice to become a helicopter pilot!

After a half hour safety briefing and introduction, your appetite will be whetted when you get inside the helicopter and experience the whiz of the blades and see how it rises majestically into the air. Enjoy the views and familiarise yourself with the many dials on the dashboard before taking the controls and flying the helicopter yourself.

Steering a helicopter is memorable on its' own as you rise and fall, switch direction and sample different speeds, all under the close guidance of your instructor. An hour in the air will provide plenty of memories and could be the first steps towards that pilot’s licence. With your instructor's certificate signed and authenticated, it's highly unlikely that you will have experienced your last helicopter trip; be warned about the addictive nature of this style of transport.
