If you’ve ever thought of learning to fly a helicopter then this Helicopter Trail Flight is suited to you. You will experience the thrill of flying either a Robinson R22 or a Hughes 300 helicopter yourself with your instructor right beside you – this is the real thing!
You will be introduced to your helicopter instructor and to the dual-control training helicopter, either a Robinson R22 or a Hughes 300, the most popular training helicopters in the world.
Your helicopter training session will begin with a briefing about what makes a helicopter fly, what the various controls do and what you must do whilst flying the helicopter. Then you're off on a 30 minute helicopter training flight.
Within the first five minutes you'll be trying your hand at the helicopter controls. One by one, more helicopter controls will be introduced to you until, toward the end of the helicopter training flight, you could have full control. You'll be able to test your skills by maintaining a steady flight path, changing direction and experimenting with hover control.
This helicopter introductory training flight is one of the greatest adventures you can try. Training Instructional flights are conducted at Moorabbin Airport at a dedicated Helicopter Flight Training facility.
