Robinson R22 Trial Lesson (20 Minutes) (for 1 passenger)
Our 20 minute "hands-on" trial lesson is an excellent taster flight for anyone who has never experienced the controls of a helicopter before.
Enjoy a tea or coffee while you have a 20 minute brief introduction to the controls before you fly. Your instructor will then show you to the aircraft, where, once on board you will have the chance to fly the
helicopter yourself.
You will get a fantastic birds eye view of the beautiful, local countryside. If you live locally, you may even get the chance to fly over your own house so don't forget to bring a camera.
Taking the controls is purely optional, so if you'd prefer not too, simply sit back and enjoy the ride. Why not ask your pilot to `strate their skills? A 360 degree spin will get you buzzing in no time!!
Once you return back to base you will be presented with a certificate. Other momentos are available, including clothing and pilot logbooks.
Refreshments are available for friends and family who may want to come and watch.
Note: The R22 has a maximum seat weight limit of 17 stones/109kg.

Ask your pilot how far you can go, it's your flight so make the most of it. Maybe you'd like to get an aerial shot of your house, or a glimpse of a local football stadium, whatever you choose, we guarantee a truly exhilarating experience.

Robinson R22 Trial Lesson (60 Minutes) (for 1 passenger)

This course is ideal for anyone who is thinking of learning to fly. One of our instructors will take you through the first exercises of our training course.
You will have an hour in the air, followed by a briefing on the ground, then another hour in the air. During this time you will become familiarised with the helicopter and the safety issues that surround it.
You will learn the effects of the controls as well as get hands on experience with them. Your instructor will also take you to Nottingham or Leicester Airfield where you will have the chance to hover the helicopter yourself.
At the end of the course you will be presented with your own Pilot Logbook which will detail the exercises you have taken part in. The Logbook is essential for recording the hours you have flown should you
