What to expect:

If you are serious about getting your pilot licence and would like to experience a longer, more intensive helicopter flight, join us on a Flight Discovery Experience. This two-hour flight will introduce to the basic techniques demonstrated in the Trial Introductory Flight, as well as provide you with an opportunity to handle all four controls of the aircraft for an extended period, under the watchful eye of your highly-trained flight instructor. As you enjoy the thrill of flying solo, test your skills by learning to hover, maintain a steady flight path and even change direction mid-flight! Your flight instructor will start with a one-on-one classroom briefing, so you understand basic flying techniques and safety considerations. You will then join your instructor on a pre-flight inspection, before settling yourself into the aircraft as you learn more about helicopter start-up procedures. The flight is split into two intensive sessions of 60 minutes, with a break in-between to rest and ask the flight instructor any questions you may have. This exhilarating experience is often what convinces many enthusiasts to keep flying and attain their Commercial Helicopter Pilot Licence (CPL(H)) or Private Helicopter Pilot Licence (CPL(P)). If you decide to continue your pilot training, the duration of the Flight Discovery Experience will be logged as flight time towards your pilot licence.

Absolutely awesome and well thought of experience. I've flown a bigger helicopter for an hour and a half and with that behind me they went threw everything very thoroughly. Flight instructor Sasha has around 400 flight hours and had everything taken care of and even gave me full control for 40 plus minutes.
