Get a feel for helicopter flying with this thrilling hands-on introductory lesson in Leeds, spending half an hour in an R44 learning from a qualified pilot. A fantastic experience gift for anyone who's ever dreamed of flying!

Taking place at Leeds Airport and operated by a well-respected pilot school, the R44 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 half an hour of one-to-one instruction, hands-on flying practise, and an exciting hovering exercise, whilst admiring the countryside landscape beneath you. Because R44s are 4-seater helicopters, you're also welcome to bring two friends along to watch from the back! Once you've landed, the pilot will present you with a commemorative certificate.

A gift voucher for the R44 Helicopter Trial Lesson in Leeds is great for any occasion, or as a once-in-a-lifetime treat to yourself!
