Book a helicopter trial lesson at Lelystad airfield. You can do this alone or with passengers. But beware, flying yourself is addictive! Also great to give as a gift.
Helicopter trial lesson Lelystad
This gives you a real first trial lesson in helicopter flying! Beforehand, you get a 30-minute briefing on what will happen during the trial lesson, to prepare you as well as possible. You go through the lesson together, including the basics of why a helicopter flies and how to control it. The pilots and instructors all speak Dutch and English.
Fly it yourself Lelystad
You will fly the helicopter yourself as much as possible, with the instructor beside you. Once you have done 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 helicopter flying. 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!

Types of helicopter
You can choose a trial lesson with an R44, Cabri G2 or S300 helicopter.
R44: For 1 student and up to 2 passengers. This is the ideal choice if you want to bring passengers along during the trial lesson.
Cabri G2: For 1 student. This is a new modern training helicopter. This trial lesson is also the right choice, should you later wish to continue learning for the private or commercial helicopter licence.
S300: For 1 student. This is a more economical choice if you want to experience a trial lesson purely as a one-off or give it as a gift.
