R22 DEMO FLIGHT IN CALIFORNIA
In order to provide you with an authentic helicopter pilot experience, we have combined a mini simulation course with a hands-on helicopter flight. Our guided flight simulation course utilizes the Elite TH100 Helicopter Advanced Aircraft Training Device (AATD), the only flight simulator in the area, with real life helicopter flight training.
The combination of the guided AATD flight simulator session and R22 helicopter flight will help you learn the basic fundamentals of helicopter operations and safety.
After completing the AATD flight simulator session with your instructor, you will gain a basic understanding of the different controls in the helicopter and their purpose.
Once the simulator portion of the demo flight is completed, you will proceed with your instructor to the helicopter where you will be introduced to all of the basic fundamentals of helicopter flight. You will get to experience the flight lesson in action while soaring 700-1,000 feet above the Port of Long Beach and Downtown Long Beach.
All of the flight time you accumulate on your demo flight will count toward your helicopter license requirements.
After the flight, our knowledgeable staff will offer you more information on how to go about your future helicopter flight training.
Learn the Fundamentals of Helicopter Control!
The R22 is the most popular and widely used training helicopter in the world. During your demo flight you will learn the fundamentals of helicopter control, including straight and level flight, climbs and descents, and turns.
Should you opt for the longer 30-minute demo flight you will be introduced to hovering, which in the beginning is arguably the most challenging aspect of learning to fly.
In addition, we offer a 60-minute option to allow you to spend more time behind the controls, as well as show you more of the local area.
