Before your hands-on experience your 60 minutes Helicopter Flying Lesson starts with a 30 minutes pre-flight briefing, a safety introduction and a walk around the helicopter where you will learn which effects have the controls on the aircraft.
During this hands-on experience your instructor will first demonstrate typical manoeuvres which are possible to do with a helicopter. He will demonstrate climbs, descents, straight and level flight, as well as a simulated engine failure! After you received this first impression you will get the chance to practice hovering the Robinson Helicopter R22 on your own. But be sure that you will be supervised by the instructor all the time during this experience.
As well as the pre-flight briefing you will receive a briefing after you had your hands-on experience in order to answer all the questions you might have.
