Helicopter, Training Introductory Flight - Cairns
Your session will begin with a briefing about what makes a helicopter fly, what the various controls do and what you must do whilst flying the helicopter. All the safety issues will be discussed here as well. Then you’re off on a 30-minute training introductory flight. Your instructor will fire up the engine and get the rotor blades churning for lift-off. Within the first 5 minutes you will be trying your hand at the controls. Fly from Cairns Airport under your instructor’s guidance and taste the life of a heli pilot. Test your skills – maintaining a steady flight path, changing direction then try your hand at hovering on completion.
This experience provides an individual a fantastic insight into the responsibilities of being a pilot and is an amazing rush. Your palms are guaranteed to be sweaty on this adventure!

The crew and staff on the day were superb and very friendly making the whole experience fantastic. The flying itself was simply amazing and I am already making plans to start some kind of formal training. Great day and organised very well, thank you.
