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.
