Experience the thrill of a helicopter lesson for up to four people at various helipads and airfields across the UK. Our 20-minute 4-seater helicopter lessons are valid at all listed locations. One of the unique advantages of learning in a larger, four-seater helicopter like the Robinson R44 is the extra space inside the cockpit. This means that, with the pilot instructor's approval, two guests chosen by you can join as observers in the rear seats of the helicopter. The fee for this exclusive opportunity is payable directly to the training school.
This is not just a lesson; it's an opportunity for you to take the controls and for your guests to experience the thrill of being your passengers! Consider inviting those who gifted you this experience as a gesture of gratitude. Whoever you choose to bring along, they will absolutely love it. If you've never been in a helicopter before, it's a truly remarkable experience. Unlike traditional planes, there's something special about rotary aviation that provides a unique sensation, especially during take-off!
The R44 is the world's best-selling general aviation helicopter for a reason. It's renowned as an excellent trainer due to its ease of use, stability, and reliability. Your training will be conducted on a one-to-one basis with a CAA-approved instructor. It's important to note that the time spent in the cockpit during your experience can count towards your pilot's license if you decide to pursue that path. Remember, your voucher is valid for any available location across the country. Whether you choose to fly from a local helipad or venture further afield, you're in for breathtaking views and an opportunity to develop your flying skills during your four-seater helicopter lesson!
