You will become familiar with the individual controls and get to know your instructor pilot. You will learn the fundamentals of helicopter control, including straight and level flight, climbs and descents, and turns.
Your instructor will then take you to the aircraft where you will put into practice all that you have learned in the simulator and apply it in your own dual-control helicopter with your attentive instructor guiding you through every basic stage of helicopter flight. You will get to experience the thrill of piloting a helicopter while soaring 700-1,000 feet above the Port of Long Beach and Downtown Long Beach.
