Learn the basics of helicopter flying with this half hour introductory lesson in Leeds.

Get a taste for helicopter flying with this exciting hands-on introductory lesson in Leeds, spending half an hour in an R22 learning from a qualified pilot. The perfect experience gift for anyone who's ever dreamed of flying!

Held at Leeds Airport and operated by a top pilot school, the R22 trial lesson will begin with a 15 minute pre-flight briefing to cover basic controls, the flight path, and safety procedures. Once you're settled in the co-pilot seat, it's time for take-off! If you've never flown in a helicopter before then you're in for a real treat, as a vertical take-off is something that will stay with you for a lifetime. In the aircraft you'll have thirty minutes of one-to-one instruction, hands-on flying practise, and a hovering exercise, whilst enjoying the countryside landscape beneath you. When you've landed safely and are back on solid ground, the pilot will present a certificate to commemorate your experience.

A gift voucher for the R22 Helicopter Trial Lesson in Leeds is great for any occasion, whether it's a birthday, Christmas, or a treat for someone who deserves a special surprise. Happy flying!

My helicopter flying lesson was amazing. It was in a R44 on the day, not a R22. The pilot was fantastic with very clear instructions of what to do. I would highly recommend the Leeds location.
