The Helicopter Hover Challenge

£120.00

Have you every marvelled at the way that helicopters hover? It’s a skill that all helicopter pilots have, so could you really hover a helicopter yourself? Try the Yorkshire Helicopters Hover Challenge and enjoy a glimpse into the world of helicopter flying.

You will have a fascinating pre-flight briefing from our professional instructor on the essential skills of hovering, feel free to ask questions.

Once seated in the helicopter, your instructor will demonstrate how each of the helicopter controls work, before you take control and try hovering yourself.

Your hover training is real, exactly the same lesson as required to become a helicopter pilot and gives a great insight into the art and skill of helicopter piloting.

Description

First of all you will receive an all important brief on the effects of each control in the hover before your Instructor will ensure you are seated comfortably in the helicopter.

You will receive a demonstration of each control in a 10 foot hover before being invited to take control. As we do in the real flight training syllabus you will have a go at each control independently before putting them altogether. To end the flight your Instructor will take you up to 500 feet allowing you to take advantage of some well earned rest and absorb the views.

The pre-flight brief will last 10-15 minutes. Total time in the Helicopter is approximately 15 minutes, airborne time 10 minutes.

Limitations for this flight:

Maximum Weight is 18 stone.

Minimum Age is 13 years to reasonably assure that the candidate can reach all of the controls however this is a height rather than an age issue, so please feel free to contact us.
