About the experience

Take to the skies with a 30 minute four seater helicopter lesson flying from Leicester Airport, ideal for anyone in the East Midlands who wants a proper first taste of helicopter flying. Based at the airport since 2001, this friendly, family run outfit knows helicopters inside out and runs a slick operation with excellent facilities to match, including a smart purpose built helipad and an impressive fleet. This experience is all about getting hands on. After a short briefing, you will strap in beside a professional instructor and head off in a Robinson R44, a four seater helicopter used worldwide for training and loved for how well it flies. Once airborne, you will be talked through the controls and given the chance to fly the helicopter yourself, making this far more than just a sightseeing trip. Expect a completely different feel to an aeroplane, especially when hovering, which is as thrilling as it is memorable. If the instructor is happy, you can even bring along a guest to sit in the back as an observer, making it a brilliant shared experience. For those thinking about learning properly, the flight time can be logged towards future helicopter training.
