Tactical Helicopter Flying Lessons

One of our more popular flying packages, these lessons are flown on fixed days, as we need large groups to fly these sorties. Each recipient receives a full group flight briefing prior to the flight, then 18 minutes flight time, these are in 3 segments, with the chance to flying the aircraft and a chance to observe the flight from the back. Once the flights are over we present each of the trial lesson pilots with a certificate. They are generally nice communal days with a chance to chat to like minded people enjoying a shared passion!

These sorties are flown in the Robinson R44 helicopter with "rotors running" changeovers, and each time the changes happen the student pilots will be marshalled by our trained ground crew.
