What Can I Expect
By booking a slot on the helicopter simulator at Luton Airport, you get the chance to have a go at virtual flight in a Robinson R22 at the flight simulator centre based at one of the country's busiest international airports - Luton International.
This Robinson R22 helicopter simulator is built from an actual air frame. That means you are sitting in a real helicopter cockpit that has flown many hours. In addition to the genuine air frame, add in the 180-degree screen and real-world graphics and you've got yourself a highly realistic and immersive helicopter simulator experience in Luton.
Your simulator hosts Howard and Paul met whilst training to be pilot instructors. Their passion for aviation is clear to see and they love the fact that they are located within the vibrant Luton International Airport, just a 15-minute walk from the main passenger terminal.
The sessions in the helicopter sim are tailored to you. So, before your flight, you'll sit down and chat about what you'd like to do and where you'd like to go. The most popular by far is having a go at hovering, which is quite a skill for any helicopter pilot. You can also try challenges like low to the ground manoeuvres and cross country flying.
All that hovering in the helicopter makes you peckish, so you can even arrange in advance for the crew to order a brunch, lunch or afternoon tea from the business and executive jet catering company based at Luton!
You will be captain for the duration of your simulator flight and your pilot host will be guiding you. It's a great setup in a great location, so buy your voucher for a session in the helicopter simulator at Luton Airport now and get ready to hover!
