Hands-On Helicopter Flight In Los Angeles For TwoTake the Controls of a Robinson R44 with this Hands-On Helicopter Flight Over Los Angeles 13 Reviews
Price for 2 participants
Experience the thrill of flying as you take the Controls of a Robinson R44. Your experience begins with 30 minutes of ground school conducted at the helicopter explaining how the helicopter flies, what each control does, how to read the gauges, what to look for in conducting the pre-flight inspection and making sure the helicopter is safe to fly. After ground instruction is complete, you will take to the air on a 30 minute flight lesson, during which you will take the controls with the help of your flight instructor to see what it is like to pilot the helicopter and experience most flight conditions including straight and level flight, climbs, turns and descents, plus the most memorable, hovering. With the ground school and flight combined, you will have a basic understanding of how to fly the helicopter.
Participation is limited to individuals weighing less than 250lbs, and the maximum combined weight of passengers may not exceed 500lbs. Individuals who are pregnant, have broken bones or other physical conditions which are considered unsafe conditions are not eligible to participate. Participants are required to sign a Liability Release Form prior to flight. If the participant is under the age of 18 a parent or guardian will need to sign the form prior to participation. All participants must have a valid photo ID (passport or driving license). Gratuity for the Instructor is not included and should be extended following the flight.

Hands down the most thrilling experience ever. I gave this as a birthday gift to my boyfriend and he loved it! He used to work for the company that makes them, so it was much more awesome to be able to fly one of the helicopters he worked on. The instructor Troy, was super helpful. I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone.

My husband is still thanking me for finding this opportunity. It is a unique, very hands on experience and we learnt so much about the mechanics of helicopter and its operation. Jeff was very nice and articulate instructor. If you are an adventurer, this is way to do it, it is easy and accessible, thrilling!

My girlfriend bought this for me for Christmas and it was one of the coolest things I have ever done. I actually got to do a lot of flying on my own and now I have something cool to brag about to all of my friends. My girlfriend is the best.

I got this for my bf's 25th bday. He is a petroleum engineer which means that he is around helicopters all the time however he had never flew one. He had no idea what we were doing up until the point when he saw the helicopter sign on the front door! He was so happy and so excited! It was hugs and kisses all day long! We are going to take lessons now and get certified to be pilots! Thank you so much Eddie G (our instructor) and Xdays for giving us a great time!

Everyone at LA Helicopters was fantastic!! I bought the helicopter ride for my dad and husband who were both pilots in the Army. My dad hadn't flown a helicopter in 19 years and my husband 15. They had so much fun. It all came right back them both. The pilot was fantastic!! He made the trip so much fun. I think his name was Louise. We will definitely do it again!

What an experience! Eddie was our instructor and certainly A.D.D. (which is necessary to fly a helicoptor). Had a great time - and surprised how much I actually flew. The hovering exercises were cool as well!

Got the package for Christmas, for 2, from the coolest girlfriend in the world. The flight was incredible, an amazing feeling. I'm going to get the package for my girl so she can experience the controls. I'll be in the backseat, with fingers crossed.

This was such a great experience. I got this for my boyfriend's birthday and he LOVED it. So much so that he was even telling random strangers that he had just flown a helicopter! I also had a lot of fun going along for the ride and I never felt left out. The instructor was awesome- very knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. The only bad thing is that I've totally outdone myself and my future gifts are doomed. Thank you for such a great time.

I JUST WANT TO SAY IT WAS GREAT , MY BOYFRIEND LOVE IT!!!!, AT THE BEGING HE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE NOT GONNA LET HIM FLIGHT BUT HE ACTUALLY DID, HE LOVE IT , THE INSTRUCTOR WAS AMAZING, PATIENT AN VERY FRIENDLY. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMEND IT. IF YOUR ARE LOOKING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRY OR GIVE AS A GIFT IT IS JUST PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING MY BOYFRIEND SUCH A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY GIFT.

This was a very good experience. I got it for my birthday and it was a pleasant surprise.
- Sandy - Long Beach, Thursday, August 28, 2008
WOW! Talk about a hands on helicopter flight! Going into this experience, I never imagined that I would be at controls of the helicopter for 25 of the 30 minutes of the flight. The instructor was great, and after about 30 minutes of helicopter education on the ground, we were ready to go. A cool thing about this experience was that at the end, you are given a log book for your time spent learning as a start to your 40 hours required for obtaining a helicopter license. Before the experience, I thought I was only going to be controlling the chopper for 5 minutes or so, now I'm seriously contemplating going through instruction to obtain a license!
