    In this starter pack, you get the first 6 lessons of helicopter flying. Lessons 1 to 4 are 45 minutes each, and lessons 5 and 6 are 60 minutes each. This is because the first lessons are new and require a lot of concentration, and it takes a while before you get used to it and can fly for longer. 

    This includes an extensive theory lesson before each flight and a pilot logbook for logging your flying hours, ready for when you decide to continue with a private or commercial licence.

Introductory flight Hilversum

for 1 person
You can do this during an introductory flight from Hilversum airfield. Beforehand, you get a 30-minute briefing on what will happen, to prepare you as well as possible. You go through everything together, including the basics of why a helicopter flies and how it is controlled. Then, together with the pilot, you get to experience how the helicopter is flown. The pilots and instructors all speak Dutch and English.

Always wanted to know how a helicopter is piloted?

You will experience the helicopter together with the pilot. Once you have experienced manoeuvres up in the air, such as turns, climbs, descents, descending turns and climbing turns, it is time to hover the helicopter.

Hovering is the most difficult and also the most fun part of the helicopter introductory flight. This means floating/holding still just above the ground. A unique interplay between human and machine: eye-hand coordination and making very small control corrections. A unique experience!
