I was given a 20 minute helicopter flight as a birthday present, and I have to say it was excellent Instructor Ed Hardcastle took off the R22 and we then followed the beach towards Brighton. I was able to take over the controls until we flew over the piers at which point Ed took back control to do a handbraketurn and we returned to the airfield for some hovering practice. That is absolutely the hardest thing to do on the planet you need to concentrate on so much simultaneously. I am sorry to admit that I failed dismally to keep the helicopter stable for more than 2 seconds, even though I had previously done 9 seconds of hovering nearly 3 years ago with Gary in GCROW. I had a fantastic time and cant wait to give it another go. Everyone at Advanced Helicopters found to be very friendly and helpful. 5 stars.

My helicopter flight in Sussex was absolutely amazing I had been up in a helicopter before but nothing compares to the thrill of actually flying it under the supervision of a highly experienced and professional pilot in Spencer who was very reassuring. Fantastic

First time in a helicopter and it was fantastic. The staff were excellent and friendly we called ahead as we were running late and were told it was no problem and not to worry. An excellent time.

My helicopter flight in Sussex was absolutely incredible Having never been up in a helicopter before, it helped having the very reassuring and professional pilot, Spencer, next to me. I had a great time, got the hang of flying it, and am keen to go back againReally recommend it to anyone as an experience that has to be ticked off

Because of lack of information, the wrong helicopter for me was ordered, so I had a very cramped experience and although the instructor had to be very accommodating under the circumstances, I thought the time I had with him was useful and interesting. I enjoyed the flying time.

I had a 45 min flight with Alex and couldnt recommend him enough. He allowed me the controls a lot more than i thought he would and showed me things i thought would only come with much more advanced lesson.Cant praise Advance enough for looking after us and making us feel really welcome.
