About the experience

Available nationwide, these 30-minute helicopter flying lessons are available at a whole host of locations and are completely flexible, meaning it is completely up to you where and when you decide to embark on your lesson. Each lesson starts with a flight safety briefing, addressing a lot of essentia safety rules and directions you will need to follow. Now it’s time to climb into the helicopter and get you comfortable and strapped in. Here the instructor will perform the last checks and inspections before its time to lift off. After gaining some height and when you are comfortable to do so, the instructor will introduce you to each of the three basic helicopter controls. Your instructor will let you know when it is safe to begin flying. Make sure to follow their instructions carefully. With practice, you will become a master of helicopter flying in no time! During this time you will learn about pitching the nose of the helicopter up or down, or rolling from left or right. You will grip what is known as the collective, which will enable the helicopter the ability to move up or down. Your feet will be positioned on the rudder pedals which will control the direction in which the helicopter is pointing. There is a lot to think about, but don’t panic, you will have someone guiding you every step of the way.

Martin
Allowed me to experience something I've always wanted to - flying a helicopter. A great gift to me from my wife and an easy process to book the experience with Helicentre in Leicester. I would recommend it to everyone.
Conor Clowes
Fantastic organisation .. Covid interfered with the end date to be taken ( helicopter ride) and they were so flexible in giving a very generous extension to the end date . Thank you .. no fuss and very professional . The helicopter trip was stunning with a fabulous pilot/ teacher . Defo want to go again .. sadly no photo
Martin
Flew a Calibri G2 under the expert guidance and very professional Lucy Rosa. I'd never flown in a helicopter before and she made it so relaxed, comfortable and with as much hands on as I could. Very enjoyable and I can easily recommend the experience.
Stephen
Great experience, wasn’t expecting to be given the opportunity to fly the helicopter myself, so that was an added bonus. Would definitely go back - the staff were really friendly and knowledgeable

I purchased the helicopter experience for my husband for our wedding anniversary and he absolutely loved it! It was truly an amazing experience! We flew out in Kent and the views were beautiful! Our instructor was very helpful and informative! My husband is now considering to take further lessons! Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested!

I had a superb experience, a blast from my past, when in the forces Shoreham were very helpful in arranging my experience and were perfect hosts to my family.
Mr C Childs
It was a great experience. The instructor was excellent, informative of how the helicopter flies and explained all clearly. The fact I got to take the controls was brilliant. Would certainly recommend this experience and hoping someday to try again...special thanks to the organisation and helicopter company..
Simon Allerton
The Helicopters were fantastic and my instructor was really good and explained all the information clearly and what's more amazing is that I got to take the controls for at least 20 minutes. Would recommend this experience to everyone especially at this location.
Johan, by email
I had a fabulous introductory helicopter lesson from Into the Blue. It was AMAZING!  Organisation was perfect and the staff were great. And yes, I'm hooked on helicopter flying and would love to get back up there soon. Well, it's Christmas soon, so maybe someone special will get extra special present again and again...
