About the experience

Experience the thrill of a helicopter lesson in Devon, where you'll soar over wild moors and hover above the breathtaking coastline. These 30-minute lessons offer unparalleled scenery in the South West and provide a comprehensive introduction to helicopter flying. Departing from Dunkeswell Aerodrome, nestled in the heart of Devon just a few miles north of Honiton, this airfield sits 839 feet above sea level, making it the highest licensed airfield in the South West and the entire UK. The operator's Devonshire base allows for a range of helicopter services, including lifting and craning to remote areas, specialist aerial photography and filming, as well as airborne survey work and training. This experience is designed as a trial lesson, offering participants the chance to not only revel in awe-inspiring views from the all-glass domed chopper but also take the controls, if they wish. The helicopter likely to be used for your lesson is a two-seater Sikorsky S-300, renowned for its agility and reliability with a single, three-bladed main rotor. Dunkeswell Aerodrome, affectionately known as 'Mudville Heights,' has a rich history as an ex-RAF and US Naval base and is now a thriving hub for general aviation.

Martin Hendrick
After having had this Helicopter lesson given to me as a birthday gift, I finally got round to booking and was not disappointed. I had 1hr of fly time with approx 45 mins of that at the controls. My instructor, Guy was a very competent and friendly laid back guide and never made me feel nervous or like I was making him nervous. The little bit of classroom work at the beginning was beneficial and made the flying a little easier to understand. I would fully recommended this experience whether just as a gift experience or if you are thinking of becoming a pilot. Guy was a get asset to the company and I would love to have another go
Paul
Brilliant Flew with Andy who is an excellent instructor.I rarely give top marks but tis deserves it.
Neil
Excellent experience. Guy was so friendly and gave me such confidence that I was able to take the controls myself. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who has an interest in helicopters.
Barry Green
Great experience, excellent instructor.
Adrian Bolton
An amazing experience with Andy who instilled great confidence in me. Very professional and friendly instructor. Allowed me to fly 90 of the time after we got in the air. Got to do it again. Remember to take your camera
Chris Marriott
I had an amazing flight in a helicopter at Dunkeswell. It started with a fascinating brief from ex army pilot Andy and then we were zooming into the air on a glorious sunny day. Andy is a great instructor and I was even trusted with the cyclic while he made sure we stayed in the air
Alan Bushnell
intiially beset with problems mainly due to the weather, the flight itself was carried out in a very confident professional manner. I was amazed at how light you had to be with the controls.
Jo Stone

Mark

Claire Johnson
Bought this for my partner for his birthday and he had a great experience. The instructor was really friendly and helpful.
David Manners
Excellent experience with a very good instructor. Everything was explained clearly and every opportunity was given to take control of the helicopter. Despite some blustery, squally moments, the journey was fantastic with views across the Devon and Somerset countryside. A rainbow was an added bonus
Debbie Trelawny
