What Can I Expect
These helicopter lessons in Powys put you in control as you fly the helicopter above the beautiful mountains and valleys of Wales, giving you a birds-eye view of some of the country's most stunning landmarks as you go.
We are offering 30 and 60 minute lessons out of Mid-Wales Welshpool Airport. We also have the 40-minute 'Air Raising' ride, which gives you a 30-minute lesson, plus an extra 10-minutes where the pilot will show you what these machines can do.
All three experiences offer a full half-hour safety briefing independent of your flight time, as well as complete professional instruction throughout. The flying school is a fully licensed Flight Training Organisation (FTO) and a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved training provider, with some of the best helicopter instructors in Wales.
As these experiences are lessons, you'll have the chance to take over the role of pilot for the majority of your time in the air. You'll learn how to control the heli in a straight line, discover how to use the rotors in order to turn and, most difficult of all, hover.
And don't forget, if you go for the 40-minute ride from this Welsh school, you'll enjoy the standard 30-minute itinerary, including your time at the helicopter's controls, before the instructor takes the lead for the final 10 minutes. This is when you get to experience some exhilarating helicopter manoeuvres. If you didn't have the flying bug before, you will now!
The added bonus of these helicopter lessons in Powys is the scenery. You'll be soaring over some spectacular Welsh countryside, from Powys Castle to the Severn Valley across the border, you'll be treated to wonderful aerial views.
