About the experience

Product ID: 15213

Get to know this little airfield in the heart of the Suffolk coast with a 30 Minute Helicopter Flying lesson from Beccles Aerodrome. Full to the brim with rich history - Beccles opened in 1944 and was used as a USAF base and was home to the RAF coastal command. Today it's proud of its history but is known as a modern flying centre with friendly instructors specialising in helicopter flying. The school here has been doing helicopter lessons since 2010 and they have an impressive fleet on sight including 2-seater R22'S and 4-seater R44's ass well as Cabri G2's and an array of microlights. As soon as you've received your introduction and had an overview of the controls, you'll be ready to fly in no time! In this lesson, you'll explore the Suffolk coastline near Lowestoft and hover above the gorgeous countryside fields all the while learning to fly a 2-seater alongside an instructor. For the chance to see the best sights of East Anglia and get some flying experience under your belt, you won't want to miss out on this lesson! What's more, rumour has it their cooked English breakfast at The Club Virage café bar is meant to be legendary. After all, there's no better way to celebrate a successful flight than with a slap up fried breakfast.

Helicopter trial lesson at Beccles airfield.Initial briefing was very helpful and after a short handson session in the helicopter, we were away.Surprisingly I was able to take the controls almost immediately and flew it most of the way, thanks to the brilliant guidance of the instructor, Capt. Speechley.Half hour flight and another half hour of instruction preflight made it an ideal time and a really great experience. The crew on the ground were also very helpful, efficient and enthusiastic loved it

I bought this experience as a birthday present for my wife, Elizabeth, and I just wanted to say what a wonderful day we had with the helicopter team for Elizabeths flying lesson. It was a wonderful experience and we are extremely grateful to captain Phil for a fantastic flight. Elizabeth really enjoyed flying the helicopter and the whole experience And even sitting in the back as a passenger brought back many happy memories for me from my days as an RN Fleet Air Arm Sea King pilot. Highly recommended. Brilliant.

From the moment of introduction to our pilotinstructor, Phil, we were put at ease. His briefing was thorough and easily understood and he spoke clearly in laymans terms aided by clear diagrams to put across the salient points of his explanation. His friendly, professional manner helped ease our nerves as we were then introduced to the helicopter my husband taking his seat in front with myself as passenger. I was fully included in the exhilarating experience. From start to finish all through the flight he encouraged and reassured us with his confident yet understanding manner. He had a thorough knowledge of the local area and we even flew over our own property en route. It was amazing to think that at times we were travelled at 100mph and 1000ft yet it was a smooth and comfortable experience because of his expertise in the cockpit. After the flight there was an opportunity for a debrief and my husband was handed a certificate too. We really couldnt rate and recommend the adventure highly enough. The surroundings at Beccles Aerodrome, with micro lights, parachutists and light planes on the airstrip and in the air, was phenomenal. We will definitely be taking about this experience for many months to come. Thank you so much to Phil and his team.
