The Robinson R44 trial lesson is designed to give a taste of what it is to fly a helicopter. Under expert tuition you & a loved one will be able to take the controls & discover the freedom of flying, with the aircraft responding to your lightest touch. This is the perfect gift for those who love to be airborne. The flying lesson begins with a 30 minute technical briefing, where you will be taught the basic aircraft safety checks, procedures & necessary ground & airborne emergency drills. You’ll then be taken through the protocol for the dual controls of the helicopter. A member of the ground handling team will take you both to the aircraft when after a photo opportunity, you will meet your instructor & take your seats in the 4 seater helicopter. After final checks, you will experience the incredible feeling of vertical take-off & the euphoric sense of freedom as you see the landscape from a 360˚ viewpoint. While you familiarise yourself with the new sensations of helicopter flight, your instructor will introduce you to the geography of the aerodrome & local area. When your instructor decides it is appropriate, one of you will have the opportunity to have a go on the controls while the other person gets to enjoy the views. Once you have both completed your experience, your pilot will land the aircraft & you will be escorted back to the Flying School where you will receive your certificate of achievement, a couple of glasses of non-alcoholic bubbly & a box of chocolates. You can also purchase your photos & a personalised DVD of your flight. These are a great keepsake to WOW your friends & family with your flying skills & relive the moment again & again. You will be required to take two forms of identification with you on the day, photo identification & proof of your address. A driving licence card will cover both!
