Our Trial Lesson is around 30 Minutes, depending on Air Traffic control. You will get complete control of the cyclic in the helicopter with a professional, experienced, friendly pilot by your side. This upgrade also offers a low-level demonstration the ultimate helicopter experience.

Your helicopter trial flight is a premium, no-obligation introductory lesson designed to show you what helicopter flight training feels like from the first minute. You’ll start with an instructional pre-flight briefing, where your instructor explains the helicopter, the plan for the lesson, and how the flight controls work. Then it’s time to fly. With dual controls and a professional pilot beside you, you’ll get hands-on time on the cyclic and experience the thrill of real helicopter handling, not just a passenger ride. This upgrade also includes a low-level flight demonstration for an unforgettable perspective over Brisbane. On the way back into Archerfield, your instructor may demonstrate a simulated engine failure as part of the learning experience. Your flight time can be logged toward licence hours, making this a genuine first step into pilot training.
