Feel and sense what it's like to be a helicopter pilot, from the smells and the communications with tower control to take over the controls.Yes.You heard it right. You take the controls and fly the helicopter in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
It all begins with the pilot getting clearance for take-off - a vertical take-off. And the fun continues as you learn about the controls for forward, backwards and sideways flight. Next, find out how to stay motionless in the air and when you are ready, your instructor will transfer the controls over to you.
The adrenalin climbs a notch or two as you take the controls and manoeuvre the helicopter.
Your instructor demonstrates the techniques with low flying and different movements, which you can learn and apply during your flight.
If you are feeling up to it, your instructor demonstrates a simulated engine failure -a manoeuvre that's not for the faint-hearted but entirely up to you.
Allow 1 and a half hours. The flight lasts for 40 minutes.
Available throughout the year.
Valid for 1 person.
Suitable for all ages 16 and up. You should weigh no more than 100kg.
