About the experience

The Pathfinder Helicopter Experience – Discover the Skies from Redhill Aerodrome! This isn’t just a helicopter lesson, and it’s not your typical sightseeing flight either. The Pathfinder Experience is a unique behind-the-scenes look at what really goes on in the skies above Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey. If you’re an aviation enthusiast or an aspiring pilot, you’re going to love this. It’s an exclusive flight that dives into the nuts and bolts of air traffic, flight paths, and the jargon-filled world of aviation. You’ll get an insider’s view of how helicopters navigate busy airspace, complete with acronyms like ATC (Air Traffic Control), ATZ (Aerodrome Traffic Zone), CTA (Control Area), and CTR (Control Zone). Why is it so fascinating? Redhill sits partly within Gatwick’s controlled airspace. That means helicopter pilots need to stick to strict procedures and use designated VRPs (Visual Reporting Points) to enter and exit the area safely. You’ll actually identify some of these VRPs on your flight, including landmarks like Buckland Reservoir, the M23/M25 junction, Godstone village, and South Godstone Railway Station. You'll see how pilots interact with ATC, follow controlled routes, and use real-world visual cues for navigation. It's hands-on, immersive, and incredibly informative—perfect for anyone curious about how flying works from the cockpit’s perspective. You'll fly in a Robinson R44 helicopter, which has its own hover squares and heli-strips at Redhill. And since this is an exclusive experience, it’s just for your group, up to three passengers.
