Full description
Experience flying a helicopter for the first time.
Very close to Barcelona you will receive a complete theoretical introduction and you will be ready to fly a Cabri G2: checklist, taxi, climb and clear horizon over the Vallès Occidental. You are in control, with the instructor at your side giving radio instructions and fine-tuning each manoeuvre.
Get behind the controls of a helicopter for a real 30-minute flight. Shall we start the engines?
What we will do
The appointment will be 40 minutes before the booking time at Sabadell airport. When you arrive, you will be checked in at the acceptance booth and you can drive your car to the control tower building. The team will be waiting for you in the offices on the ground floor.
You will start with a briefing of about 30 minutes: basic flight theory, helicopter operation and safety rules. The instructor will be on hand to answer any questions and make sure you know the essential concepts to enjoy the experience with confidence.
Then comes the moment of truth. Following the instructor's instructions, you will take part in a 30-minute flight over the Vallès Occidental region . You will be at the controls of the Cabri G2 tandem helicopter, while you are in constant contact with the instructor, who will be giving guidelines and answering questions throughout the flight.
After landing, we will dedicate a few minutes to a brief debriefing and final round of questions. The total duration of the experience is 2 hours.
