Take off and float
Do you dream of flying a helicopter yourself? A trial flight offers an ideal opportunity to do so. Under the supervision of a flight instructor you can take the controls yourself without any formalities, theory or medical examinations. The trial flight can be fully credited as training time in a subsequent flight training course.
Procedure and timing
No previous knowledge is required to make your first helicopter flight with the flight instructor. All flight students receive a twenty-minute introductory course with the basics of helicopter flying. Each student pilot is entitled to 30 minutes flying time. The taster flight is carried out at the double pilot. The flight instructor hands over individual controls to the student pilot.
- Meeting of the participants at the airfield
- Welcome by the flight instructor, inspection of the flying equipment
- Introduction to the theory of flying
