This ‘hands on’ experience will introduce you to the workings of a helicopter or an aeroplane, whichever you are interested in learning to fly.
Helicopter Introductory Flight

The TIF starts with the instructor giving you a quick briefing about the aircraft on the whiteboard as well as a safety briefing. You are then shown around the aircraft where the instructor explains the effects of the aircraft’s controls.
Once in the air you will operate each control and during forward flight you will also be given the opportunity to take control of the aircraft.
