Helicopter lessons Goodwood style! We are offering 30 and 60-minute flight durations in either two-seater Guimbal Cabri or four-seater Robinson R44 helicopters at this legendary location.
You will be taking off from the heart of the historic Goodwood complex in West Sussex. The aerodrome originally started life as RAF Westhampnett, serving as an American airbase in the Second World War. Nowadays the atmosphere is a lot more relaxed at this busy, but friendly airport.
Your helicopter lesson will be hosted by a leading heli charter and flight training organisation. This long-established operator is based at Goodwood's hangar three. The school is CAA licensed, with their own helicopters being flown by their own pilots who know the local area really well.
That's why you can expect a really warm welcome from the Goodwood team and a professional approach to helicopter flying. Get ready to learn a lot about rotary aviation, whilst having fun at the same time. Friends and family who come to watch you during your lesson are also well-looked after, as they'll be invited into the clubhouse overlooking the apron to spectate.
As you head out to the helipad, you'll be shown around the chopper. When safely installed inside, your instructor will explain the controls and what they do. Once airborne and in the open skies above Goodwood and the Chichester area, you'll be invited to take over the controls - a total highlight of the experience!
On your way back to the airfield, you'll have a go at one of the most essential but difficult heli moves to master - the hover. As your chopper dances from left to right just above the ground, your nearest and dearest watching nearby will be able to make the most of the close-up photo opportunity. Book now for fantastic helicopter lessons out of glorious Goodwood!
