Helicopter initiation from LODRINO – COLIBRI EC120 – From CHF 780.00

Learn to fly a helicopter from Lodrino in Ticino on a COLIBRI EC120 with friends as passengers.

The COLIBRI EC120 is a helicopter with 4 passenger seats plus 1 pilot. You can take 3 people with you free of charge if you wish.

The introductory flight begins with a brief theory lesson on helicopter flight and aerodynamics. Then you’re all off to the tarmac to join your helicopter. Passengers take their seats. As for you, you take a technical tour with your helicopter instructor.
Then it’s your turn to climb aboard and take control of the helicopter.
You ask the control tower for take-off clearance. After receiving the OK, you use your left hand to operate the general pitch and accelerate rotor rotation. It reaches 395 rpm and you can take off by gently pulling the general pitch upwards. Now you’re hovering, and all you have to do is push the cyclic (the stick) slightly forward to pick up speed.
