What Can I Expect
Our best-selling, nationwide range of 30-minute helicopter lessons departing from a whole host of locations! These brilliant rides are totally flexible, as it's up to you where you decide to take your lesson.
The airfields may vary, but each experience starts in the same way - with a pre-flight safety briefing and meeting your instructor pilot. Once you are comfortably strapped in, the instructor will perform the last run of checks.
If you've never been in a heli before, you might be struck by how noisy it is and your first take off is sure to be an eye opener. You slowly rise up vertically for a few metres, then as you feel the chopper lean forward, you accelerate off into forward flight.
After gaining cruising height and speed, your pilot will introduce you to each of the three basic helicopter controls, demonstrating their use and effect. And remember, these are 30-minute helicopter lessons, so you will actually fly the chopper!
You will learn about pitching the nose of the helicopter up or down, or rolling from left or right. You’ll grip the collective and move it up and down to make the helicopter do likewise. Your feet will be on the rudder pedals, controlling the direction in which the helicopter is pointing. There's a lot to think about when it comes to handling a helicopter!
If there's one thing you'll be certain of after your flight, it'll be that helicopters are not easy to handle, but it is enormous fun. Of course, the helicopters all have full dual controls and with patient instruction, most people are able to achieve a degree of control within just 30 minutes!
If you'd like a more in-depth lesson than offered on these nationwide 30-minute helicopter lessons, then try our Nationwide 60 Minute Helicopter Flights , for more time in the air.
