Who hasn’t had the childhood dream of flying a helicopter…at HeliPower we can make that dream come true!
Our Trial Helicopter Lessons are designed to be enjoyed by up to three or frour people, with the prices below covering all participants.
Whether you're considering becoming a helicopter pilot, looking for an unforgettable gift, or simply wanting to try something completely different, a Helipower Trial Lesson is the perfect introduction to the world of helicopter flying. Take the controls, experience the freedom of flight and discover whether there's a pilot in you!
On the day of the flight the recipient will meet the instructor and receive a short briefing on the controls and how the helicopter flies. The student and your 2 or 3 rear seat passengers will walk
out and takeoff over the beautiful Co. Down scenery.
Once at a safe height the student can take control and fly the helicopter. After returning to the airfield the student can try hovering...the hardest and most
addictive part of flying a helicopter. The instructor can also demonstrate some advanced low level maneuvers. A trial lesson counts towards your pilots licence if you decide to continue
training.
The student can fly as much or as little as they are comfortable with. For the longer duration of flights students can decide where the helicopter flies, just ask on the day. Friends and
family can come along and watch from the viewing area and enjoy a coffee in Cloud 9 while you fly.
