What happens on the day
Get ready to unleash your inner aviator!
Your high-flying adventure kicks off at the St. George Regional Airport where you’ll meet your FAA-certified instructor. Before takeoff, you’ll begin with a 10 to 15-minute overview of your R22’s flight controls and safety features.
Then, it’s time to fly! While your instructor handles takeoff and landing, you’ll take the controls mid-flight to practice maneuvers like straight and level flying, climbing, and descending. For the ultimate thrill, you’ll even try hovering—one of the trickiest techniques to master!
Whether you soar over St. George or head east to Sand Hollow, this experience is the perfect blend of scenic views, hands-on learning, and epic memories.
