The Experience
Test your skills and experience the thrill of flight with this Helicopter Hover Challenge.
This unique experience is your chance to learn one of the most challenging aspects of helicopter fligh - hovering. After a detailed pre-flight briefing, you’ll take to the skies with an experienced instructor in a Robinson R22 helicopter, with the option to upgrade to the larger R44 for a roomier experience.
Your 20-minute flight time will take you over the surrounding countryside, offering stunning aerial views as you learn to master the controls. During the hover challenge, you’ll test your ability to keep the helicopter steady in mid-air, a skill that requires precision and focus. With the guidance of your instructor, you’ll discover what it feels like to control the aircraft and get a taste of what it’s like to be a pilot.
This experience includes a total of 50 minutes, with time for your pre-flight briefing, hands-on flying and post-flight debrief. One spectator is welcome to watch and share in the excitement of your achievement.
Take the controls and see if you’ve got what it takes—book your Helicopter Hover Challenge today!
