R44 Heli Trial Flight at Humberside Airport 30Min

It's never too late to acquire new skills, and a helicopter trial lesson could be your next adventure.

It's a fun learning experience that you can't miss. We run our lessons at Humberside International Airport in North Lincolnshire. A qualified pilot will greet you on the tarmac and give you a one-to-one 15-minute briefing.

What follows is a 30-minute flight, led by the pilot but with plenty of opportunities for you to experience flying the helicopter. This is possible thanks to the dual controls of our R44 helicopter, analogous to those you’d find in a driving instructor's car.

This aircraft has 4 seats. You and the pilot will be in the front, so there’s space for 2 passengers in the back. As if your new flying skills weren’t enough to gawp at, there will be panoramic views of the Humber Bridge and the Northeast spread out beneath.

Why not get this trial flight as a gift for someone special in your life? There are a few requirements for participating in the flight, including a weight limit of 20 stone (95 kilograms), but in general it’s an easy-access way to enjoy aviation.
