The Experience

Have you ever dreamt of soaring through the skies as a helicopter pilot? 

Take your first step towards this exciting journey with this Insight To Becoming A Helicopter Pilot Experience.

This unique introductory package offers you an exclusive opportunity to get up close and personal with the world of helicopter aviation.

During this 2.5-hour adventure, you'll be guided by experienced and CAA licensed helicopter instructors, individuals who have not only mastered the art of helicopter flying but have also operated a wide range of helicopters. Your journey begins with an informative introduction and safety briefing, ensuring you're well-prepared for the experience ahead.

The highlight of this experience is undoubtedly the hands-on helicopter flying lesson. You'll be seated in a 4-seater training helicopter, where the instructor will introduce you to the dynamics of helicopter flight. Then, the moment you've been waiting for arrives – you'll have the chance to take control and pilot the helicopter yourself. Feel the thrill as you command the aircraft through the skies during this 15 minute flight.

In addition to the flight experience, you'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at our hangars, where you can explore various helicopter types and gain a deeper understanding of the machinery that takes flight. To cap off the day, one of our CAA licensed helicopter instructors will present you with valuable insights into helicopter pilot career options, helping you envision the path ahead.

Don't miss this opportunity to make your dreams of becoming a helicopter pilot a reality.
