When booking your trial flight, simply enter your preferred lesson time in the comments section and our team will check instructor availability before contacting you to confirm the booking. This extended 30-minute experience places you in the pilot’s seat of our modern Cabri G2 training helicopter, flying alongside one of our highly qualified instructors. You’ll gain a real sense of what it’s like to fly a helicopter, taking part in key phases of flight including start-up, take-off, hovering, controlled forward flight, and landing, all while safely using the dual controls under expert guidance.
Before taking to the air, you’ll receive a comprehensive pre-flight briefing covering safety procedures, aircraft basics, and what to expect during the lesson. After landing, a detailed post-flight debrief allows you to reflect on the experience, ask questions, and learn more about helicopter training pathways if you wish to continue. Designed to be both exciting and confidence-building, this trial flight is ideal for beginners, aspiring pilots, or anyone looking for a truly unforgettable adventure. It also makes a memorable gift, with vouchers available from reception or by calling 0800 FLY NELSON.
