Fly yourself / Trial Flight

Did you ever want to fly a helicopter? Then one of our trial flights is just the right thing for you.

Our trial flights consist of a theoretical and a practical, i.e. flying part:

Theory:

During the theoretical training, the necessary basic skills about helicopters are taught. This theoretical instruction is mainly accomplished at the helicopter and in conjunction with the pre-flight check you get the first contact with the impressive technology of the helicopter.

Practice:

Let’s get started: To get a first impression of the control input, you „feel“ the first control movements during take-off and start of the helicopter with the flight instructor. You get a feeling of how sensitive the helicopter reacts and can prepare yourself for the big moment: After the start, the instructor leaves more and more the control of the helicopter to you. Now you fly the helicopter at an altitude of 1.000 to 2.000 feet (approximately 300 to 600 meters) and you complete the first exercises, like turnings. For trial flights with a flight time of 30 minutes and more, after the cross-country-flight follow hover exercises: On a practice area at the airport, you get an introduction tot he pinnacle of helicopter flying: Hovering - one of the most challenging parts of helicopter flying. Under the safe supervision of the instructor, who is always ready to intervene, you will complete the first hover exercises.

Safety:

Our flight instructors have far more than one thousand hours flight experience and worked in the fields of private- and commercial pilot training. To guarantee safety, they are always prepared to interfere.

For whom are trial flights suitable?

Everyone who can carefully handle controls and follow instructions of a flight instructor is qualified for a trial flight. For reasons of safety, we reserve the right to continue the flight as a sightseeing flight, if the trial-student cannot follow the instructions of the flight instructor or if he is over challenged with the controls.
