A Trial Helicopter Lesson with Pilot’s Logbook

Many people dream or becoming a helicopter pilot, either professionally or privately. If you wish to find out more about flying helicopters, a trial lesson is the perfect first step.

This flight is a genuine flying lesson within the approved helicopter flight training syllabus. This means that, should you wish to become a helicopter pilot, this flight counts towards your Licence.

If you then want to go ahead and learn, we have already taken the first step.

The Trial Lesson is a combination of a few of the early exercises in learning to fly helicopters, consisting of a ground briefing on a few safety points, an ‘air experience’ and the ‘effects of controls’ exercise.

Essentially this means that in addition to your Instructor demonstrating a number of manoeuvres required to gain your Licence, you will also be briefed to take full control of the aircraft and use each control to gain an understanding of how helicopters actually fly.

You will be flying the helicopter yourself. Alongside is your instructor coaching you, with full dual controls.

These early stages are the most important. A proper understanding of the basics forms a solid foundation to build upon when trying to create a fully competent and safe Helicopter Pilot.

After your flight you will be given a Pilot’s Log Book to legally log your flight time. A member of the Yorkshire Helicopters team will also be available should you wish to discuss gaining your Pilot’s Licence.
