Redhill

The Main Event

Helicopter lessons are such a unique gift and this helicopter lesson provides a great introduction to flying with 1 to 1 tuition from experienced instructors and extra flight time.

Based at the Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey, this experience will last around 90 to 120 minutes. The lesson begins in the classroom where you'll learn the basics of flying a helicopter before getting to enjoy 40 minutes of flight time in the local area, with hands-on learning where you get to take the controls of the helicopter.

Qualified CAA-approved instructors will tailor the training to suit you to create a safe and enjoyable learning experience.

You'll be learning in the latest model of the Robinson R22, a two-seat, two-bladed, single-engine, light utility helicopter manufactured by Robinson Helicopter Company. It was designed in 1973 and has been in production since 1979.
