Alan is an excellent CFI. Even though I already have a fixed wing license, he didn't hold it against me lol. Anyways, he was very direct, concise and explained everything thoroughly and made this a really great experience. -

Sit behind the controls of a helicopter and learn to fly in this introductory lesson!
Your experience begins with a pre-flight briefing where your Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) will explain how the helicopter flies, and how the flight controls work.
After the briefing, you will be taken out to a state-of-the-art helicopter where your instructor will explain the main components and strap you in for your first flying lesson.
Your instructor will talk you through the start-up procedure and take-off and once airborne will hand the controls over to you. Now, here comes the exciting part - you are flying the helicopter! While flying you will experience hovering and forward flight.
The ultimate introduction to the exciting world of vertical flight!
