Step Into The Experience
 
Take to the skies and experience the thrill of helicopter flight with this private one-on-one flying lesson at Redhill Aerodrome, just south of London. Whether you're fulfilling a lifelong dream or simply curious about aviation, this hands-on experience offers a unique opportunity to learn the basics of helicopter control under the guidance of a professional pilot.
 
Choose your aircraft R22, R44, or G2 and prepare for an unforgettable adventure above the beautiful Surrey countryside. With personalised instruction, you’ll not only enjoy the ride but also take the controls yourself, feeling the power and precision of flight from the pilot’s seat.
 
This is a bucket-list experience that’s both exhilarating and educational, and perfect for first-timers.
 
What to Expect
 
Your experience begins at Hangar One at Redhill Aerodrome, where you’ll meet your instructor pilot and receive a pre-flight briefing covering safety, aircraft controls, and flight procedures. Once you're ready, you’ll board your chosen helicopter and take off for a 45-minute flight lesson that combines scenic views with hands-on flying.
 
With your instructor’s guidance, you’ll learn how to hover, turn, and navigate, gaining a real sense of what it takes to fly a helicopter. If you opt for the R44, you can even bring up to two friends along for the ride (weight permitting), making it a shared experience to remember.
