Deal overview
Do you dream about flying?
Taking a trial lesson is the first step on the journey to becoming a helicopter pilot - or a fantastic one-off experience that you won’t forget in a hurry! The lessons are led by qualified pilots, both competent at the controls and charming with our customers (anyone over the age of 14 years old).
Here at Halfpenny Green Airport, Wolverhampton, we have a dual-control Robinson R22 helicopter which is perfect for first-time flyers. In fact, it’s the training helicopter of choice around the world.
We offer one-hour experiences that include 30 minutes in the aircraft. We’ll start with “ground school” then get into the helicopter to learn about the controls and techniques in a more hands-on way. Next, the pilot will take you into the air and allow you to fly the helicopter in a controlled way
The R22 is a two-seater model, so you’ll have the full attention of the pilot throughout. They can advise you about the next steps in helicopter training once you're back at the airfield.

60min R22 Trial Lesson at Halfpenny Green Airport
Deal overview
Most people think that they’ll never have the chance to fly a helicopter - but it’s much easier than you might imagine! Just book this trial flight with us and head for Halfpenny Green Airport outside Wolverhampton.
One of our most comprehensive introductory experiences is this 60-minute flight experience. In total, it lasts around an hour and a half because we’ll start with a pre-flight briefing before spending one hour in the helicopter.
You’ll be guided through the lesson by one of our team of experienced pilots. As well as full certification, they have an attentive and professional manner with customers. They’ll introduce you to the Robinson R22 helicopter and allow you to operate the aircraft in flight using the dual controls.
The R22, probably the world-wide most popular helicopter for training, has two seats, so this is an exclusive trial lesson, suitable for anyone aged 14 or over. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like about helicopter flight, training and qualifications.
Hoping to see you soon!
