Helicopter Introductory Flight Lesson in San Antonio
$250 · The best way to know if helicopter flying is for you. Hands-on, no experience required.
What It Is
A Real Lesson — In a Real Helicopter
An Introductory Flight Lesson is the introductory lesson every helicopter pilot remembers. You'll meet your Flight Instructor, learn the basics on the ground, climb into a Robinson or Bell helicopter, and — once we're safely airborne — actually fly the helicopter yourself.
$250 per person. We've used Introductory Flight Lessons for 30 years as the honest first step into our flight school. Most people decide whether they want to pursue a certificate on the way back to the hangar.
