The Main Event

This helicopter lesson offers an excellent start for aspiring pilots, featuring one-to-one instruction from experienced instructors. The session lasts about 60 minutes, starting with a classroom briefing on helicopter flying basics. Afterward, you'll enjoy 25 minutes of actual flying, where you'll take the controls under the guidance of your instructor.

Training is provided by qualified CAA-approved instructors who personalise the lesson to ensure it's both safe and enjoyable.

The helicopter used for training is the latest model of the Robinson R22. This is a two-seat, two-bladed, single-engine light utility helicopter, first designed in 1973 and in production since 1979.
