Full description

Experience the incredible capabilities of helicopters firsthand with an exclusive Intro Flight. This is an unparalleled opportunity available at an unbeatable price!

The experience begins with a ground school session conducted right at the helicopter. Our instructors will guide you through the mechanics of helicopter flight, explaining the functions of each control, teaching you how to interpret gauges, demonstrating pre-flight inspection procedures, and ensuring the helicopter's safety before takeoff. For Robinson helicopters, you will also receive an SFAR 73 Endorsement, granting you the authority to operate and control the helicopter during your flight.

Once the ground instruction is complete, you will embark on a thrilling flight lesson. With the guidance of your instructor, you will take the controls and personally experience the exhilaration of piloting a helicopter. This flight will take place over the stunning coastline near Hawthorne Airport, allowing you to encounter various flight conditions such as level flight, climbs, turns, descents, and the unforgettable sensation of hovering.

As highly experienced flight instructors, we have meticulously designed the Intro Flight to provide a comprehensive introduction to helicopter piloting for beginners. By combining ground school and flight time, you will gain a fundamental understanding of the art of flying.

There is absolutely no obligation to continue with further lessons. The Intro Flight special is specifically tailored to offer you an immersive encounter with helicopters and the sheer thrill of flying.

Moreover, the flight time you accumulate during the Intro Flight can be counted towards your license if you decide to pursue lessons for a Private Pilot Rotorcraft license.
