Depending on the location and size of the helicopter, you are welcome to bring someone else with you. In most cases we offer ride-along vouchers on the relevant location page. Please talk to us if you would like to take someone with you. At some locations, the training flights take place with a Robinson R22 or Cabri G2. These helicopters only have [...]

Of course, the flight instructor will correct you if you do something wrong. We know that flying a helicopter isn't easy and we don't expect you to get it right right away. A double control is installed during the flight, which allows the flight instructor to intervene at any time and at lightning speed.

We do not expect any prior knowledge from you on our taster flights or when flying yourself. Before the flight you will receive an extensive introduction. During the flight, an experienced pilot with a flight instructor license will sit next to you and can intervene at any time if necessary. If you already have prior knowledge of flying a helicopter, please let us know and we can [...]

Helicopters, like airplanes, have a red and green position light on their sides. The reason for this is the applicable right of way rule (or rather “pre-flight rule”) in air traffic. Just like in German traffic, right before left applies up there and worldwide. The position lights help to recognize in which direction an aircraft is flying in the dark. The green position light is located [...]

The main rotor can rotate in one direction or the other depending on the manufacturer. This has no impact on performance or security. If you look at the rotating main rotor from above and it turns anti-clockwise to the left, then the helicopter is usually from an American manufacturer. If the rotor rotates in [...]

Compared to a real helicopter flight, you simply stay on the ground in the simulator. In this way you can become familiar with the controls of a heli, an experienced pilot is at your side and you can gain experience that prepares you for a real flight. In addition, the simulation takes place completely independently of the weather [...]

The answer to this question is very comprehensive and would go beyond the scope of this page. But a simple explanation for so many questions answered, as is so often the case - the mouse: For more details on technical backgrounds, we recommend our helicopter blog and the book 'The Little Helicopter School'. 

You fly the helicopter together with a pilot/flight instructor. A double control is installed in the helicopter as in a normal training flight - similar to the driving school car. First of all, what has to be done when heli flying is explained on the ground beforehand. This introduction does not count towards the booked flight time, but is added to it. Of course you can after [...]
