Helicopter trial lesson

After a 'pre-flight' brief on flight controls, you will take to the air for a thrilling flight. Feel the exhilaration of effortless manoeuvrability with speeds up to 100mph whilst learning the basics of how to control a helicopter.

From Culter Helipad in Aberdeenshire, valid 6 months, 1 participant.

What's included

On arrival at the Helipad, the voucher holder will be greeted by our friendly team and then introduced to one of our experienced Flight Instructors. They will be shown the flying school facility and shown around the aircraft (Robinson R44) - a perfect opportunity to take photographs. After a 15 minute pre-flight brief on the effects of the controls, take to the skies and experience the freedom of helicopter flight. You will be asked to fly at a given height, climb, descend and turn the helicopter and on returning to the helipad will complete a hovering exercise. A word of caution – be prepared to become addicted.
