Overview

A trial lesson can make an incredible and exciting gift for loved ones and friends or just to treat yourself! The Discovery Lesson is a hands on flying experience with 1 to 1 instruction at Redhill Aerodrome. Flight time is approximately 25 minutes in the local area where we aim to get the student on all of the controls.

When you arrive with us, enjoy the warm and friendly atmosphere at our Helicopter Club Office. Take in the sights as you look across amazing views of a busy airfield before meeting with your Instructor. Before taking your flight you will be taken aside for a full safety briefing and a look at how the helicopter controls work. When you’re ready, you will enter the aircraft and your instructor will take you out over the beautiful Surrey countryside to try flying for yourself.

If you have ever wanted to try flying a helicopter there are a number of different options available to suit your budget. Our Discovery Lesson is designed to give you a taste of flight, both the Robinson R22 and Cabri Guimbal G2 helicopters are 2 seater aircraft where you and the instructor will be alone in the aircraft. Our Robinson R44 helicopter has 4 seats, and you will be able to bring 2 other flight enthusiasts along for the experience.

Most important of all, unlike many flight experience providers the published flight time is the actual time in the air and does not include the time in the classroom. Helicopters are probably the most exciting and rewarding machine to master. 

The total flight time is estimated at 25 minutes, but we recommend allowing an hour for the whole experience with us.

What a super crew they are at EBG Helicopters. My stepson and I took two separate flights in a Robinson R22..... It was absolutely exhilarating and all thanks to our instructor Anne- Marie Goodwill. A-M, thank you so much! So, if you are thinking of treating yourself to a flight and live in the South East of England, give EBG Helicopters a call..... you won't regret it!

Finally I got to do my helicopter lesson and it was well worth the wait! Thank you to Captain Tim for making me feel reassured and for his wicked sense of humour. What an amazing experience.

What fabulous day, the best of weather, a great helicopter R22, and more importantly a great Captain Anne-Marie, who made the day so special. As a birthday gift from my Son, it couldn't have been more enjoyable being introduced to the joy and pleasure of seeing the Surrey countryside from above. Especially enjoyable during the trip was having the opportunity be 'hands on' and to undertake a few simple introductory helicopter manoeuvres, albeit at all times under the safe overall control of Captain Anne-Marie. A wonderful present and a real thrill ... what a great day !
