Introductory Flight

Get in the pilot's seat! You’ll learn the basics of flying a helicopter before taking off on an introductory flight with an instructor by your side. Experience flight first hand in a new way.

We offer an introductory aviation experience with a dedicated instructor, including 30 or 60 minutes of in-flight training in one of our Robinson R44 helicopters. It is an interactive experience, where you are in the pilot's seat during the flight. Your instructor beside you will have dual controls and will run you through a basic first lesson on flying (taking off, hovering, confined area landings etc.). It is a great option if you are interested in pursuing a pilot license, or for a bucket list experience.
