Embark on a thrilling helicopter adventure where you take control and become the pilot. This one-hour pilot training experience in Wollongong includes a one-on-one theory session followed by a 30-minute flight where you get to fly the helicopter yourself. Your introductory flight experience begins with a pre-flight briefing and theory session that prepares you for the hands-on flying adventure. You'll learn about the helicopter controls and how to use them for straight and level flight, banking and turning, and increasing or decreasing altitude. Your pilot instructor will also explain basic aerodynamic concepts that affect the helicopter while in flight. Next, you'll complete all the mandatory pre-flight preparations, including weigh-in, fuel calculations, C of G calculations, and weather report. Then it's time to strap in for a thrilling 30-minute hands-on helicopter flight. While in flight, your co-pilot will hand over control and guide you through all the manoeuvres you've learned. Put your skills to the test as you practice banking, turning, and adjusting altitude. After your flight, there will be time for a post-flight debriefing and Q&A session, ensuring you get the most out of the experience. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to take photos with the helicopter as a memento of your exciting flying adventure. Whether you're considering a career in aviation or simply want to experience the incredible thrill of learning to fly, this helicopter pilot training is an adventure you won’t regret.
