The real highlight is the opportunity to tail chase one of the other planes, just like you have seen it done in the films!

In every trial lesson, you have the opportunity to take control. You'll be at the helm of the Robinson R44, with your instructor manning the dual control system to safely demonstrate and monitor the handling of the aircraft. A day in the sky not to be forgotten!
