Overview

In order to provide you with an authentic helicopter pilot experience, we have combined a mini simulation course with a hands-on helicopter flight. Our simulation course utilizes the Elite TH100 Helicopter Advanced Aircraft Training Device (AATD), the only simulator in the area, with real life helicopter flight training.

The combination of AATD and helicopter flight will help you learn the basic fundamentals of helicopter operations and safety.

After using the AATD you will understand the different controls, their purpose, as well as have a clear comprehension of the format for the ride in the aircraft itself. All of the flight time you accumulate on your demo flight will count toward your helicopter license requirements. After the flight, our knowledgeable staff will offer you more information on how to go about your future helicopter flight training.

Activity itinerary

Learn the Fundamentals of Helicopter Control! In this experience you will first spend time in our advanced simulator to learn the basics of helicopter control and safety. 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. The duration you choose is the duration of the flight time not including simulator.
