20 minute Helicopter Trial Lesson - Robinson R22 at Culter Helipad

Helicopter trial lesson

After a 'pre-flight' brief on flight controls, you will take to the air for a thrilling 20 minutes. Feel the exhilaration of effortless manoeuvrability with speeds up to 100mph whilst learning the basics of how to control a helicopter

This experience will last a total of approx. 45 minutes, with approx. 20 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.)

On arrival at the Helipad, the voucher holder will be greeted by our friendly team and then introduced to one of our experienced Flight Instructors. They will be shown the flying school facility and shown around the aircraft (Robinson R22) - a perfect opportunity to take photographs. After a 15 minute pre-flight brief on the effects of the controls, take to the skies and experience the freedom of helicopter flight.
A word of caution - be prepared to become addicted.
