R44 Trial flight

Fly a helicopter yourself!

During an introductory flight, you’ll take the controls as the pilot—of course, accompanied and supervised by an experienced flight instructor. The flight instructor will gradually give you more control over the helicopter. You can try out various flight maneuvers, such as landings and hovering, on your own. Coordinating all the controls is a major challenge. Can you keep the helicopter hovering in place? Give it a try—an introductory flight is an intense and unforgettable experience.

Take on the challenge!

Note: A maximum of 1 accompanying person may fly along.

ROBINSON R44 Raven II

Like the smaller R22, it is powered by a Lycoming piston engine and offers comfortable seating for four people, with each of the three passengers having a window seat. For flights with just a few passengers, such as wedding flights, it is the ideal solution at an unrivaled price. At Mountainflyers, the helicopter is mainly used for sightseeing flights of all kinds and for pilot training. For many new private pilots, it is the first "big" helicopter and allows them to carry passengers on charter flights and share the fascination of flying with friends and family.

Typical area of use

  • Ideally suited for all kinds of sightseeing flights
  • Birthday and wedding flights
  • Pilot training
  • HESLO training

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a helicopter actually work?

A helicopter is a complex aircraft. The lift that allows the helicopter to rise into the air is generated by the horizontally rotating rotor blades, which are driven by an engine. The rotor creates a force that causes the helicopter to float upward.

I only want to fly when the weather is nice—what are the weather requirements?

We create unforgettable experiences—and good weather is essential for that. We’ll call you on the day of the flight (a few hours before takeoff) to let you know about the weather conditions. Together with you, we’ll decide whether or not to go ahead with the flight.

How long does it take to receive a gift certificate?

You can print our gift certificates immediately after placing your order (payment by invoice or online with a credit card). This means there is no delivery time. Can’t or don’t want to print the gift certificate? Contact us—we’ll send it to you via A-Mail so it arrives the next day.
