About the experience

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to gain insider knowledge of how a Helicopter works and put this into practice as you take the controls during this flight. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to fly one of these clever choppers, now is the time. With lessons departing from Manchester City Airport you’ll be well and truly part of the hustle and bustle here as thousands of flights take off here daily. It will be hard not to be impressed by the 1930s red brick tower and the commercial jets that soar overhead as you’re greeted by your pilot and talked through safety precautions and how the helicopter works before stepping aboard. Flying out of this airport is a unique experience as you are immediately treated to impressive city scape views as you soar over the Greater Manchester area and take in the well known buildings. If you’re feeling adventurous, you’re pilot will encourage you to take the controls and have a go at flying yourself. With one to one tuition from an expert pilot and the opportunity to clock up the hours through the skies, this is the perfect experience for anyone looking to work towards their pilots licence. Alternatively, if you’re new to the skies, you’ll soon be taken under the pilots wing and shown the ropes as these flights can be tailored towards your experience.
