Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime introductory helicopter lesson in Leeds, spending an hour in an R44 learning from a qualified pilot. A thrilling experience gift for any aviation enthusiast!

Taking place at Leeds Airport and operated by a top-rated 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 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.

An Experience Days gift voucher for the R44 Helicopter Trial Lesson in Leeds is ideal for Birthdays, Father's and Mother's Day, and Christmas, or celebrating a special occasion in style!
