Great Gift!

I surprised my boyfriend with this for his birthday, and he loved it. They got to fly around Buckhead and do a bit of sight seeing, while also learning some basics of flying a helicopter. I'd definitely recommend!

First Helicopter Flight

Can't remember how far back my dreams of flying a helicopter go back but, it all came together today. I had a great pilot, Alister, we were always in control and safe. This guy can fly and has nerves of steel. Did have some panic attacks when I blundered but, Alister was there to make this a safe and fun adventure and when we got cleared by the tower, headed down the runway, climbed and banked right....man what a feeling. Looking out unto the Atlanta area like never before. Honestly, may have been the worst person behind the controls their first time out but, loved it enough to know I have to change that statement. Now, where is the money coming from for lessons? Will certainly use the same pilot.

Helicopter Experience

First time in a helicopter. Pilot was very knowledgeable, pleasant and easy to talk to. I was allowed to take the controls and fly the helicopter, under the pilots supervision of course, and really get the feel of it. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone who, like me, has always wanted to take a spin in a chopper. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

This experience was unbelievable. This was a first class experience and the instructor let me do a lot of the flying! We did a look around the city and then practiced hovering at the airport. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has an interest in helicopters or flying. I will not forget this experience.

The entire experience was amazing. Everyone we met with Air Atlanta was extremely nice, and happy to answer any questions we had. My instructor was Suzanne, and she was WONDERFUL! She took the time to make sure I understood exactly what she was explaining, and we had the best flight. If far exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to go flying again! Thank you

Questions about Atlanta Heli Lesson

Question: My wife has always wanted to learn to fly a helicopter so I purchased a certificate for her birthday. Will I be allowed to ride along for an extra fee so I can take pictures?

Answer: This lesson takes place in an Robinson R22 helicopter which has only 2 seats and dual controls. As much as I'm sure she'd like you to come with, she's probably going to prefer the other seat be occupied by a licensed instructor!
Question: I want to make sure the Learn To Fly a Helicopter Atlanta experience isn't too far of a drive. Which airport do they take off from?

Answer: The lesson originates from the Peachtree Dekalb Airport.
Question: I would like to surprise my son with this lesson because he has been talking recently of pursuing his license. Will this lesson count towards a Pilot's License?

Answer: Yes, the flight time can be logged and you can discuss more about the requirements to achieve a license with the pilot on the day of the reservation.
Question: Will I actually get to fly the helicopter in the lesson or is it just a demonstration?

Answer: This is a hands on lesson. After you take off you'll be able to take control of the helicopter for the majority of the time.
Question: I received this lesson as a Christmas present but I have never flown anything before. Will that be a problem?

Answer: No experience is necessary for this introductory helicopter flight lesson.
Question: I weigh 230lbs, which is just over the limit. How strict are they?

Answer: The weight limits are set by the manufacturer and FAA for safety reasons. The flight school has a 100% safety record and they are very strict about the weight limits. If the Instructor has any doubt you will be weighed on the day of the lesson.
Question: What happens the weather is poor on the day of my lesson?

Answer: If the weather is not acceptable for an Intro Flight Lesson you will be able to reschedule directly with the Instructor.
Question: I was hoping to buy this as a gift for my husband. I noticed that it says that it does not include additional guests. I was wondering if there was anyway I could pay an additional amount so I could ride along on the helicopter? I wouldn't need to fly the helicopter, but would love to be a part and get to see my husband try this unforgettable experience!!

Answer: The Learn to Fly a Helicopter Atlanta takes place in a Robinson R22 which only accommodates two passengers. Therefore guests are unable to ride along during the flight, but they may accompany the participant to the airport.
