Introductory flight Hilversum
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!
