Jump aboard this unique helicopter flying experience from Welshpool as you not only get a half an hour lesson, but an impressive 10 minute demonstration of what kind of manoeuvres the helicopter can do from the pilot. If you’re looking to clock up your hours towards your private liscence, this handy flight in the Heli will count. Not only will you be able to soak up the stunning Welsh scenery over Powys & the Severn Valley but build up your flight time alongside an experienced instructor on hand to offer you handy tips and tricks. But if you’ve never flown before, that’s not a problem as each lesson is tailored to your experience and a helicopter is a great aircraft to start with. In this session you’ll learn how to fly in a straight line, learn how to use the rotors to turn and even master the art of hovering which is far more difficult than it sounds. After you’ve completed your lesson, it will be over to the pilot to show you the rest of what this aircraft can do. You’ll walk away being surprised at just how much agility these choppers have and the powerful manoeuvres they can achieve in the skies. This combination is not only perfect for experienced flyers but newbies too, as you receive expert tuition and insight into some of the more advanced techniques helicopters are capable of.
