Have you always loved Helicopters and fancied the challenge of learning how to fly one? If that sounds up your alley, we have the perfect experience for you departing from a heliport in Leeds. Not only will you be given an extensive pre-flight safety briefing but learn how these nifty beasts operate as you get to grips with the controls. Flying a Robinson R22 helicopter will become second nature in no time, as you take to the skies and enjoy views over Yeadon Tarn and Otley Chevin Forest Park. Once you’ve settled in and have got a feel for the controls, you’ll be offered the chance to take up the tricky hover challenge and complete a few circuits - both of which are endless fun. Once you’ve completed the lesson, you will even get a personalised flight certificate which acts as a nice little memento for the day. With year round availability and the chance to perfect your hover and complete some challenging circuits this experience really has it all. If you’ve ever fancied yourself as a pilot or know someone who does, this is the perfect package to fulfil all of their aviation dreams.
