Experience the excitement of piloting the 4 seater Robinson R44 helicopter just 50 minutes from Toronto!
Your experience starts with a briefing on flying techniques and safety and once this is completed you will be taken to the helicopter where you will run through a pre-flight check with your instructor. Having completed the pre-flight check you will climb aboard the dual-controlled Robinson R44 helicopter where you will be familiarized with the instrument panel and as you are strapped into your seat and hear the whirr of the engine your heart will race.
The instructor has the control for the vertical take-off which is an amazing feeling as you leave the ground beneath you, and the excitement continues as your pilot shows you how the helicopter is able to move forward, backward and sideways through the air.
Next it is your turn at the controls and you will be able to actually pilot this amazing aircraft! Using the dual controls you will go through the basic manoeuvres and you will see how it feels to actually fly a helicopter.
The flight will take you to the south end of Cooks Bay where you may see Blue Herons and even Bald Eagles.
Your instructor will take control for the landing of the helicopter and once safely on the ground you will receive your flight debriefing as you conclude your amazing experience.
What's more you can bring a passenger with you who will be able to take photographs and video of the whole experience.
Your introductory helicopter flying lesson includes:
"The helicopter flying lesson was AWESOME! The airfield is absolutely gorgeous! And the views from above are stunning. We got really lucky with the weather - it was sunny and not too hot. My flight instructor (Peter) was very VERY nice - he provided us (my husband and myself) with a great deal of information without overwhelming us...It was an amazing experience and I truly enjoyed that! Even my husband, who is not into this kind of things, said that it was pretty good!!!" - Natalie Yunes
