What Can I Expect

Trial helicopter lessons in Nottingham! Just south of Nottingham on the A46, you'll find Nottingham Heliport hidden away, surrounded by farming land. This is a family-run company that offers 30 and 60-minute lessons in two or four seater helis, at this very pleasant location.

This is a successful school that was taken over by the Briggs family in 2007. You'll find there's a warm welcome when you arrive and everyone is very enthusiastic about showing new pupils the wonders of helicopter flying.

Unusually, the company actually owns the fleet of training helicopters based here (unlike many others who lease them), including the robust and easy to fly Robinson R22 and R44. All the instructors have many hours' flying time under their belts and all love taking new, budding pilots up for their first (and often not last) trial lesson in a Robinson helicopter.

Our trial helicopter lessons out of Nottingham are offered as 30 or 60 minutes hands-on flights in either the two seater Robinson R22 or its bigger, better equipped brother, the four seater Robinson R44. Subject to pilot approval, you may be able to invite friends or family to join you as back seat passengers as you take your lesson if you choose the four seat option.
