A Trial Lesson is a unique experience and an ideal introduction to the world of helicopter flying, making an excellent gift for any occasion. Each lesson starts with a brief, lasting approximately half an hour, during which your instructor will explain the principles of helicopter flight, how the controls work and what to expect during the flight. We offer Trial Lessons in either a two seat Robinson R22 or a five seat Bell 206 JetRanger. The JetRanger is more expensive but does allow you to take friends with you on your trip of a lifetime and has a higher cruising speed enabling you to see more of the North East from the air.
