What happens on the day?

Upon arrival at your chosen airfield you will be greeted by your pilot and receive a briefing before the flight of approximately 40 to 60 minutes. This will cover safety, and an introduction to some of the controls. Then it’s off to the helicopter to climb aboard and strap in.

Once your instructor has got the helicopter in the air you will be allowed to take the controls, and will be guided through your flight. Your instructor though, will land the aircraft to ensure a smooth grounding.
