Helicopter Flying Lessons in Long Beach
One Hour Lesson (30/30)
This lesson is set up with 30 minutes of ground school conducted at the helicopter explaining how the helicopter flies, what each control does, how to read the gauges, what to look for in conducting the pre-flight inspection and making sure the helicopter is safe to fly.
After ground instruction is complete, you will take to the air on a 30 minute flight lesson, during which you will take the controls with the help of your flight instructor to see what it is like to pilot the helicopter. This flight is usually conducted at Long Beach Airport and over the local coastline. Students get the chance to experience most flight conditions including straight and level flight, climbs, turns and descents, and the most memorable, hovering.
As experienced flight instructors, we have put together the One Hour Lesson Special as the most comprehensive way for someone who has never piloted a helicopter to see how it is done. With the ground school and flight combined, you will have a basic understanding of how to fly the helicopter.
30/60 Flying Lesson
The 30/60 flying lesson is the same as the 30/30, however you will have 1 hour of air time as opposed to 30 minutes. The longer flight time will allow you to really understand and get a feel for what it's like to be a pilot!
Weight Limitations
