Ultimate Discovery Flight

The full experience of what it is like to be a helicopter pilot is offered in the Ultimate Discovery Flight package. Starting with a 30 minute classroom session, you will be introduced to concepts of helicopter flight and learn more about the aircraft you will fly. Then, we introduce you to the basic maneuvers in our flight simulator to get you ready for 1 hour of flight time in the helicopter, all with an Epic Helicopters Flight Instructor. Included in this incredible package is a pilot logbook, where we will log your first hour in the aircraft.
