About this experience
One of the first steps in the world of learning to become a helicopter pilot can well be becoming proficient in a realistic simulator. It is the logical next step on from playing at home on gaming simulators and provides you with a solid understanding and feel of how the different helicopter flight controls interact with each other to achieve different flight regimes such as hovering, take off, up-and-away flight and landing.
We have the only full-motion 4k ultra-realistic graphics helicopter simulator in the LA Area. This sim is the most realistic representation of flying a helicopter without actually being in one!
After the flight, our knowledgeable staff will offer you more information on how to go about your future helicopter flight training. You can also upgrade on the day to flying an actual aircraft too if time and availability allow.
