Helicopter Lesson
Experience breathtaking helicopter rides and flying lessons.
Hovering in a helicopter for the first time is a unique and thrilling sensation. You get hands-on experience of the only flying machine that goes backwards and sideways as well as forwards. You will be trained by a CAA qualified instructor and your helicopter flying lessons count towards a helicopter pilot’s licence.
If you don’t fancy taking the controls yourself, your discovery vouchers can also be used for scenic helicopter rides over London.
What's included:
* One to one training from a CAA licensed instructor
* Introductory briefing on helicopter controls and safety
* One flight of 20-25 minutes during which the student takes the controls. Alternatively use your vouchers for scenic helicopter rides over London
* Total helicopter flying lesson approx 40-60 minutes
* Experience gift pack including smart wallet, personalised voucher and message card
* PA cover to a value of £50,000 plus cancellation indemnity
What happens on the day:
Your helicopter flying lessons start with a briefing from your instructor before the flight. This will cover safety, and an introduction to some of the controls. Once in the helicopter, your helicopter flying lesson starts from the time the engine turns over. You will be given headphones so that you can hear conversations between your instructor and air traffic control, and so that you can talk with your instructor. Once in the air, you will be able to take the controls but your pilot will generally undertake the take-off and landing.
