Initiation on a helicopter from GRANGES – ROBINSON R44 – From CHF 689.00

From Granges aerodrome, you can opt for an introduction to the ROBINSON R44.

The ROBINSON R44, identified by the chimney on the airframe, is a helicopter designed to accommodate three passengers in addition to the pilot. For this adventure, one passenger can climb aboard free of charge with you, the pilot.

First, your instructor gives a brief theory lesson on the principles of helicopter flight. Then, together, you head for the helicopter parked on the tarmac. A technical inspection of the unit is carried out, focusing on essential components. Once the checks have been successfully completed, you climb aboard and take the controls. After receiving take-off clearance from the control tower, you use your left hand to regulate the overall pitch, turning the rotor faster and faster before taking off. Initially hovering, you gradually adjust the control stick to gain horizontal speed and move forward.
