The Discovery day is a 4 hour experience broken down into 2 hours of Ground School and 2 hours of Flight Training. This is the perfect gift for your adrenaline junkie friend!
This is a one-to-one course and if you are considering taking your LAPL(H) or PPL(H) or just looking for a real day of adventure, then this is the ideal course for you!
Your day will include 2 hours of Ground School focusing on the various techniques that we will put in to practice during the flights, eg. take-off and landing, hovering and emergency procedures (if you are brave enough?).
During the later stages of the Flight Training, you will spend the majority of the time hands on - controlling the helicopter. It's amazing how quickly you will learn! The flight time will normally be split into two or three separate sections.
As with all our Trial Lesson experiences, the flight time will count towards the requirements of the LAPL(H) and PPL(H) should you wish to continue with further lessons.
*Please be aware that due to centre of gravity considerations, we are unable to fly passengers who weigh more than 15 stone (210lbs).
