The adrenaline buzz that results from a helicopter ride is something that appeals to many people and is also an experience that will last a lifetime. If you are one of these people, you have probably thought about booking a helicopter flight.
Due to the rugged terrain of many areas, such as the Grand Canyon, Alaska and Hawaii in the US and in other wilderness areas around the world, a helicopter ride is often the only way to see them. People who don't have the time to spend taking part in land based touring will appreciate the convenience of a helicopter tour of more congested cities. And let's not forget that a helicopter ride is a fabulous opportunity to see amazing views and take brilliant photographs.
It is relatively easy to book a helicopter flight. A number of companies offer vouchers that can be paid for online: these can be redeemed up to ten months after purchase. It is possible to find vouchers that are competitive in price and with just a few simple clicks, you will be closer to the thrill of flying.
Perhaps you are only interested in a simple joyride, or you are more serious about your flying and want to learn how to pilot a helicopter. Both of these scenarios can be arranged.
With flying lessons, you will be given basic lessons in how to maneuvre the helicopter by experienced pilots who are trained instructors. These instructors will guide you through each step. Maneuvering a helicopter is not a difficult task, but it does demand a specific level of concentration and skill.
The trainee pilot will initially be given instructions in the use of the cyclic, which is usually located between the legs. This give the pilot the ability to control the direction of the helicopter by altering the pitch of the rotor blades. After this, the pilot-in training will be guided through the process of hovering. The lesson package will include all the basic flying instructions.
An helicopter flight will afford aerial views that are unsurpassed. The flights are also packed with excitement and pleasure. What better way to spoil a loved one than to take them on a helicopter ride, where they can view historic monuments and beautiful scenery?
Most companies that offer helicopter rides stipulate a minimum age, usually over 16 years. As such, they are only suitable for adolescents and adults. There are also height and weight restrictions: participants must be between 5ft and 6ft 6in, with a maximum weight of 14 stone. Obviously, helicopter flights are subject to changes in the weather and where it is deemed to be unsafe, a flight will not occur.
So, if you are after an adventure, helicopter flights may just be what you are looking for!
