Helicopter Gift Vouchers / Trial Lessons

Helicopter gift vouchers make an ideal present - they provide an extra special experience that will never be forgotten! Better still, you can even save £££'s by buying direct from FAST Helicopters, rather than through third party suppliers.

Our gift vouchers may be presented as a helicopter sightseeing pleasure flight, or as a Trial Lesson (also known as an Introductory Lesson) where the recipient can even take control of the aircraft!
For more in depth experiences, we also offer helicopter Basic Courses and Experience Days (see below).

All gift vouchers come in a smart presentation wallet with a silver envelope.

Flights are available from our West Sussex (Shoreham) and Hampshire (Thruxton) bases.

Types Of Lessons Available:-

The Trial Lesson

The Trail Lesson is the most popular type of introductory flying experience that we provide. This really is a great way to give someone a treat they will never forget. The lesson begins with one of our experienced instructors explaining the basics of helicopter flight and how the controls work.
Then it's 'Skids Away!' as the student will be given the chance to actually pilot the helicopter in the skies over and around Shoreham or Thruxton Airport. Towards the end of the lesson comes the greatest challenge - hovering. There is a saying "To fly is heavenly, to hover is divine", never a truer word spoken!
Once back on terra firma the instructor will be happy to answer any questions and will be on hand to discuss and provide information on further training if the student has been bitten by the 'heli-bug!' We also produce a personalised certificate to show that they have taken control of a helicopter.

Pleasure Flights

If you'd rather enjoy the thrill of helicopter flight without instruction then why not sit back, relax, and enjoy a stunning helicopter sightseeing tour. Our Shoreham and Thruxton bases are ideally located for exploring the sights of southern England. We provide a range of vouchers for a variety of aircraft - all you have to do is enjoy your bird's eye view from on high. We have a varied fleet of aircraft so friends and family can come along for the ride as well!

Basics Course

This is the next step up from the Trial Lesson. It is designed to take the student through the first two lessons of the training syllabus for the Private Pilots Licence for Helicopters (PPLH). The Basics Course is relaxed and informative, being spread over half a day. The course incorporates two forty-five minute flights with both pre and post flight briefings. As the flights are taken from the PPLH syllabus these count towards the student's licence.

Experience Day

This includes 2.5 hours flying which is split into three flights with full pre and post flight briefings for each flight. The day usually starts around 0930 when the instructor will explain the day's events over a cup of coffee. Before the first flight the instructor will go through a thorough pre-flight inspection before explaining what the first flight will entail. During the day many aspects of helicopter flight will be covered and the student will soon begin to gain confidence in their ability to handle the helicopter. As with the Basics Course and the Trial Lesson, this time will count towards the student's Private Pilots Licence for Helicopters.

Booking
Trial lessons start at the 30 minute mark as this ensures enough time to complete the lesson, whereas pleasure flights start from 20 minutes.

Vouchers are issued for six months from the date of purchase. Once received, just give us a call with the most suitable time for you. Thereafter the sky's the limit - literally! Bookings are subject to weather conditions on the day and if we cannot fly with you we will reschedule the trip for the next convenient date.
