60 Minute Helicopter Flights

Nationwide

Experiences Flash element
 
Our 60 minute long helicopter flights are a great way to experience the pleasure of flight, as you've got time to really get to grips with how these things actually fly and stay in the air - technically speaking you'll be discovering the foundation flying manoeuvres such as hovering, lifting off and then level flying.

Before climbing in the cockpit for your helicopter adventure, there's the all important air safety briefing. Listen carefully, as once airborne after the take off, it's over to you to actually fly the two seater helicopter as you adjust the trim and control the rotar blades to gain altitude and there you go, you're flying!

Helicopters are capable of flying at speeds of up to 100mph, can fly backwards and even hover on the spot too, making them an exciting and thrilling present for anyone who's keen on heli classes and maybe even want to make their first steps towards formally starting helicopter flight training. We offer five hour Heli Pilot Starter packs that can get them flying.

With the instructor by your side at all times in these dual-controlled helicopters, you learn lots during these trial flights; from how to coordinate pitch and power, using throttle and power changes to execute smooth banked turns and taking off vertically. We think a trial helicopter flight is a bit like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time - it's all a question of control, coordination and concentration.

If these 60mins helicopter flights are not for you, we also offer 30min helicopter lessons for those a little less brave!

Experience summary: These helicopter flights all last 60 minutes and you should allow for the introductory briefing on top of this, which provides an invaluable insight into the science (or is that art?) of helicopter flight.

Availability: Helicopter classes are offered all year round, subject to weather conditions.

Requirements: Fourteen is the minimum age for trial flights and the upper age limit is 74 years old. A minimum height of 4'6" applies, but there is no maximum height limit. There is a maximum  weight of 17 stone.  

Spectators and Facilities: Spectators are always welcome to come and watch. Even if you can't see all of the helicopter flight excitement, there should be time to take photos and see the take off and landing. Facilities at venues vary, but most offer a clubhouse with toilets and a designated viewing area.
