Helicopter travel? You might wonder what we
mean with this.
We thought that some of our students might be interested to do some of
their training in combination with
a helicopter travel within California.
This means, that we go on a trip with you to favourite spots, towns and
landscapes. We will fly to these
locations with a helicopter and train different maneuvers and emergency
situations. Very positive with this
type of training is, that you will fly into different airspaces and will
see different approach procedures as
well as different controllers.
This way you will escape flying always the same traffic pattern and always
having the same controller
on the radio.
This will definitely become your ultimate experience and you will see
some of the most beautiful
landscapes in California.
Night flights over San Francisco with the world famous Golden Gate Bridge
will stay in your mind as much
as flights along the Highway 1 or at the edge of the national parks.
Of course our travel plan will be adopted to your personal skill at that
time.
To be able to go on a helicopter travel we will need a minimum of 3 students.
There will always be one
helicopter with a student and a flight instructor and 2 further students
will follow by car. On specific points
we will change the students every one to two hours of flight time. The
reason for this is, that most students
are only able to fly 1 or 2 hours effectively.
Meeting point and landing areas will be discussed in advance and also
programmed in our GPS system.
The fix costs for the helicopter travel will be a bit higher than the
training only in San Luis Obispo. Therefore we will have to charge $70
per day per person, covering fuel costs and accomodation.
If you should have any further questions about this theme, don´t
hesitate to get in touch with us either by
email or by telephone.
