Frequently asked questions

Do I actually get to fly the helicopter myself?
Yes. This is a hands-on intro session where you take the controls under the supervision of a certified instructor. You'll handle real maneuvers, not just sit as a passenger.
How intense is the sensation compared to a standard helicopter tour?
Taking the controls adds a layer of adrenaline that passive tours can't match. Banking turns and altitude changes hit differently when your hands are on the cyclic.
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
Most participants report the first solo control input as the sharpest adrenaline spike, when the instructor hands over and the aircraft responds directly to you.
Is there any fitness requirement to take part?
No. The session is open to everyone, regardless of physical level. Just bring a valid ID to the meeting point at Cannes-Mandelieu Airport.
