Take control and learn to fly a helicopter with stunning views of Sydney Harbour beneath your feet, all under the direction of the best qualified trainers.
If you’ve ever dreamed of flying a helicopter, now is your chance to take the controls with an introductory helicopter lesson in Sydney. Your lesson begins with a detailed briefing on the basics of your helicopter flight, control functions and importantly the essential safety measures. Once you’re ready, you'll embark on a thrilling 1-hour training flight, where you'll get hands-on experience from the moment the engine starts in either a Cabri G2 or a 4 seat R44 helicopter.
As you soar through the skies, your qualified instructor will guide you step by step, allowing you to gradually take control of the helicopter. You’ll fly over the Bankstown Airport training area, practising steady flight paths, changing direction and even hovering. This experience offers a unique opportunity to understand what it’s like to be a pilot, all while enjoying the excitement of controlling a helicopter.
The maximum passenger weight for the helicopter is 110kg.
In the event of low cloud, fog, high winds and thunderstorms your experience will still go ahead unless contacted by the experience provider. However, wet weather can still allow a flight to go ahead if visibility allows.
Loose comfortable clothing should be worn, as it can get quite warm in the cockpit and sturdy shoes. Sunglasses are a must as the glare off clouds can be quite severe. It is also recommended to bring a hat on this experience.
This experience operates at Bankstown Airport.

We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we’ve got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we’ll do the work for you.
Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
