Helicopter Flight Discovery Day - R22 at Gamston

A real oportuntity to learn more about helicopters. Includes pre- and post-flight briefings; 2 hours of flying in a modern 2 seater trainer during which you will look at the early exercises required for the PPL(H).Friends and family welcome

This experience will last a total of approx. 4 hours, with approx. 2 hours 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.)

On arrival you will be introduced to your instructor and offered a cup of tea or cofee.
There will be a pre-flight safety briefing during which your instructor will answer any questions that you may have.
Then it is out to the aircraft for the pre-flight check before strapping in and taking to the skies for your first flight.
Once airborne you will have plenty of opportunity to take the controls and fly yourself, learning to fly straight and level do simple turns and change altitude - all done at a safe altitude.
At the end of the lesson you will return to the airfield for a debrief - chance to ask the further questions that you now have concerning the way helicopters fly. After a break for tea and coffee and maybe a walk around the airfield it will be time for the next flight.
This time you will be more relaxed and have time to take in the scenery and maybe have a go at hovering - more of a challenge than you think.
Includes Pilot log book so don't forget to log your flights towards your PPL(H).
Certificate of flight will be presented at the end of the day for you to take home.
