One Hour R44 Helicopter Trial Lesson (Essex)

The flight could be the initiation of a change of career, or you may simply want to participate for the sheer challenge and enjoyment of it. Whatever your intentions, it's a great opportunity to learn the basics of how a Helicopter operates, and actually take the controls and have a go!

Spend an hour in one of our superb R44 Helicopters - The R44 design is very impressive. A four seat version of the R22, it still maintains all the training benefits of the smaller R22 helicopter but also allows the pilot and three other passengers to travel quickly anywhere you wish. With a cruise speed in excess of 110 knots and a greater payload, the R44 has just as much capability as some more expensive turbine helicopters, without the expensive operating costs.

Upon arriving at The Flight Centre you will be greeted by your flight instructor who will outline the format of the event and discuss your personal flight path. Your time in the air can be logged towards achieving your Private Pilots Licence, and upon completion you will receive a certificate of achievement which brings to a close the event.
