Enjoy a helicopter flight at Goodwood! Take one legendary location and a shiny helicopter (complete of course with highly qualified instructor pilot) and you’ve got yourself a fantastic aerial experience.
We are offering a 30 and 60-minute flight durations in two-seater Robinson 22 or Guimbal Cabri helicopters out of this fantastic centre based in the heart of the historic Goodwood complex in West Sussex. The aerodrome originally started life as RAF Westhampnett serving as an American airbase in the Second World War. Nowadays the atmosphere is a lot more relaxed at this busy but friendly airport.
Your helicopter lesson will be hosted by this leading heli charter operator and flight training organisation that is long-established at Goodwood’s hangar three. The school is CAA licensed with their own helicopters being flown by their own pilots who know the local area really well.
That’s why you can expect a really warm welcome from the Goodwood team and a professional approach to helicopter flying. Great ready to learn a lot about rotary aviation whilst having fun at the same time. Friends and family who come to watch you on your lesson are also well-looked after as they’ll be invited to the clubhouse overlooking the apron to watch you on your lesson.
As you head out to the helipad you’ll be shown around the chopper. When safely installed inside your instructor will explain the controls and the effects they have on the helicopter. Once airborne and in the open skies above Goodwood and the Chichester area you’ll be invited to take over the controls – a thorough highlight of the experience.
On your way back to the airfield you’ll have a go at one of the most essential but difficult heli moves to master – the hover. As your chopper dances from left to right just above the ground your nearest and dearest watching nearby will be able to make the most of the close-up photo opportunity.
