Take control and learn to fly a helicopter with stunning views of Sydney Harbour beneath your feet, all under the direction of the best qualified trainers.
If you’ve ever dreamed of flying a helicopter, now is your chance to take the controls with an introductory helicopter lesson in Sydney. Your lesson begins with a detailed briefing on the basics of your helicopter flight, control functions and importantly the essential safety measures. Once you’re ready, you'll embark on a thrilling 1-hour training flight, where you'll get hands-on experience from the moment the engine starts in either a Cabri G2 or a 4 seat R44 helicopter.
As you soar through the skies, your qualified instructor will guide you step by step, allowing you to gradually take control of the helicopter. You’ll fly over the Bankstown Airport training area, practising steady flight paths, changing direction and even hovering. This experience offers a unique opportunity to understand what it’s like to be a pilot, all while enjoying the excitement of controlling a helicopter.
The maximum passenger weight for the helicopter is 110kg.
In the event of low cloud, fog, high winds and thunderstorms your experience will still go ahead unless contacted by the experience provider. However, wet weather can still allow a flight to go ahead if visibility allows.
Loose comfortable clothing should be worn, as it can get quite warm in the cockpit and sturdy shoes. Sunglasses are a must as the glare off clouds can be quite severe. It is also recommended to bring a hat on this experience.
This experience operates at Bankstown Airport.
