Experience the thrill of flying a helicopter yourself. Jump in the pilots seat and feel the exhilaration of flying one of our Hughes 300 or Robinson 22 with proven safety and reliability, these aircraft are operated all over the world.
You’ve always wanted to do it, now here’s the chance for the thrill of a lifetime. Take the controls of a helicopter in this 30 minute Trial introductory flight. Upon arrival you will be greeted by your instructor who will brief you on what to expect and give you an introductory lesson on the controls of your helicopter. Once you have learned enough to get you flying you will be seated on board either a 2 Seat Hughes 300 or Robinson 22 Training helicopter. Once you’re in the Sky your instructor will progressively hand each control to you until you can fly the skies yourself under supervision. Don’t get too distracted by the scenery, as flying the real thing takes all of your concentration.

i thought that the experience of the chopper flight and the opportunity to actually fly it was fantastic and i think i will do this again in the near future.

I was greeted at the door with great enthusiasm by a very relaxed, welcoming team. Pre-flight instructions were clear and precise. The instructor was excellent and the overall experience was better than I anticipated and would recommend it to anybody, not only if they have that interest, but just for the experience itself. Excellent.

Good insight of what is expected before flight, not overwhelmed with information,& good advice during flight from pilot.
