Experience an introductory helicopter flight with Ardmore Helicopters
 

Have you ever watched a helicopter fly past and wondered what it would be like to ride in or better still, to fly it yourself? Try both during an introductory lesson with Ardmore Helicopters. You'll fly with an experienced Instructor who will hand the controls over to you as soon as possible after lift-off.

During the flight you'll get to experience a variety of flight manoeuvres as well as being guided through the basics while in control of the helicopter yourself. Heading back to the airfield we'll set up an autorotational approach to show you how we can glide and land without using engine power. The highlight of the lesson is then for you to try your hand at hovering. An introductory flight is a fantastic gift idea and a most memorable experience for you or the lucky recipient. Call Ardmore Helicopters today on (09) 298-1899 or 0508 CHOPPER to make a booking or purchase a gift voucher. We look forward to hearing from you.
