Trial Introductory Flight
Get ready for your first flight experience! Take control and discover the exhilaration of flying a helicopter, starting at just $380. With our Trial Introductory Flight (TIF), you can learn the fundamentals of helicopter flight and put them into practice right away.
Once you meet your helicopter flight instructor, you’ll receive a briefing that explains the theory and basics of helicopter flight. You’ll also get acquainted with the controls of the aircraft, which is equipped with dual controls for your convenience.
After the briefing, it’s time to take to the sky! Your highly trained flight instructor will hand over the controls to you, enabling you to enjoy the thrill of actually flying a helicopter.
Not only will this experience be enjoyable, but the time you spend in the aircraft will also contribute towards earning your private or commercial pilot’s license should you decide to enrol with Brisbane’s Utility Helicopters.
