Helicopter flight feels very different from inside the cabin. The lift, the visibility and the immediacy of the aircraft all become much more noticeable once you are airborne.
Tactical Flying is built around three short sectors shared between three participants. Across the session, you spend two sectors observing from inside the cabin and one in the hands on flying position, so you experience the helicopter from more than one perspective.
In the flying position, the instructor introduces you to the controls and you get your own opportunity to feel how directly the helicopter responds. The movements are small, but the effect is immediate enough to make those few minutes surprisingly absorbing.
It is a compact first encounter with helicopter flying, but one that gives you both the passenger’s perspective and your own time at the controls rather than treating the flight as a sightseeing ride.
