DEMO FLIGHTS This lesson is set up with 30 minutes of ground  school conducted at the helicopter explaining  how the helicopter flies, what each control does,  how to read the gauges, what to look for in  conducting the pre-flight inspection and making  sure the helicopter is safe to fly. After ground instruction is complete, you will take  to the air on a 30 or 60 minute flight lesson,  during which you will take the controls with the  help of your flight instructor to see what it is like  to pilot the helicopter. This flight is usually  conducted at Fresno Chandler Airport and over  the local foothills. Students get the chance to  experience most flight conditions, including  straight and level flight, climbs, turns and  descents, plus the most memorable, hovering.   As experienced flight instructors, we have put  together the Demonstration Flights as the most  comprehensive way for someone who has never  piloted a helicopter to see how it is done. With  the ground school and flight combined, you will  have a basic understanding of how to fly the  helicopter.   There is no obligation for you to continue  lessons, the lesson special is offered to give you  insight into helicopter flight. The flight time  received does count towards your license should  you wish to continue lessons toward a private or  commercial license.  R44 L E S S O N    D E T A I L S   Departure: Fresno Chandler Airport   Ground Instruction:  30 minutes   Flight Time:  30 minutes – or– 60 minutes R22 L E S S O N    D E T A I L S   Departure: Fresno Chandler Airport   Ground Instruction:  30 minutes   Flight Time:  30 minutes – or– 60 minutes      ROBINSON R22 DEMO ROBINSON R44 DEMO Flight duration and cost 30 min     135,00 USD 60 min 260.00 USD Flight duration and cost 30 min     260,00 USD 60 min 520.00 USD © Copyright 2011- American  Helicopters                 All Rights Reserved
