Tactical Helicopter Flying Lesson at Ards Airport

This flight still has seats available on at least these 2 dates: 11th October and 22nd November
(Other dates will be added later in the year.)
 

This experience will last a total of approx. 45 minutes, with approx. 18 minutes spent in the air. (We don't compromise on your time in the air. When comparing us with others, check the small print and the time actually spent in the air.)

Your lesson is preceded by a short flight briefing with our instructor who will explain all aspects of the flight including the effects of controls and how a helicopter flies. You will then be allowed to take the controls and actually fly the aircraft! Spend up to 20 minutes in the air, both as a pilot and a passenger, split between three separate flights.

You will be flying in a 4-seat helicopter. The instructor will always be using one of the front seats, and you will be taking turns to sit in the front and work out how to fly it, or sitting in the back and watch somebody else! (While you try and work out where you are).

* 45 minute experience with a 20 minute flight duration
* Total of 3 x 6/7 minute flights
* Split between 2 x Observation and 1 x Hands-on flight with Hover Challenge
