Discover the incredible feeling of piloting a helicopter with this 30-minute learn-to-fly experience at Bankstown Helicopters. Kick off your experience with a coffee, and a half-hour video on the principles of helicopter flight, with details on how the controls of the Robinson R22 aircraft are used. After a pre-flight inspection of the helicopter is performed, you’ll board the helicopter and commence the start-up procedure with your experienced pilot.
Before you know it, you’ll be up in the sky, with specific guidance from your instructor which will have you in full control of the aircraft by the end of your 30 minutes! After touching down, you’ll go through the complete shutdown procedure and debrief on your experience. This is the ultimate experience that is definitely one you’ll remember for life!
Note: If you don't want to take control of the helicopter but would prefer to be flown, let the provider know well in advance and they'll arrange a pilot instead of an instructor at no extra cost to you.
