Helicopter, Training Introductory Flight - Caloundra
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. One by one, more controls will be introduced to you until, toward the end of the flight you could have full control of the helicopter. Fly about Caloundra Airport training area 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 more advanced control-learning course 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!

I organised this adventure for my husband for our 1st wedding Anniversary ( He has a dream of one day owning/ piloting his own chopper :-) He was totally excited to receive the gift and was excited all day :-) the instructor was great and he had an adrenalin packed afternoon controlling the helicopter. It was a memorable unique moment in our lives, .....

I want to thank all the staff I dealt with at Adrenalin leading up to my adventure, which was the helicopter training intro flight.
You went out of your way to ensure I could get the booking I needed as I was only in Caloundra for that day.
All the staff at the helicopter school were also very friendly and professional.
Had a great time...Thanks Adrenalin!!
