Learn to fly a helicopter in Auckland! With a qualified instructor you actually get to trial the controls and fly! Take in the spectacular sights of New Zealand with this hands on experience and become a pilot for half an hour.
Upon arrival at Ardmore Airfield base you will be greeted by your instructor. The adventure will begin with a preflight briefing on safety and how the helicopter works.
On take off you will depart the airfield and embark on a sensational helicopter flight. Take the flight to the next level, learning turns, how to ascend and descend over Clevedon Village, and Whitford Forest. On the way back to the airfeild we'll set up an autorotational approach to show you how we can land without using engine power. Once back at Ardmore try your hand at hovering the aircraft! This is an amazing opportunity to operate amazing machinery!
