Pilot a helicopter yourself without the need for formalities - supervised by an experienced flight instructor at dual controls.
After a detailed briefing and theoretical instructions you'll climb into the cockpit, where your flight instructor will explain the most important instruments and controls. When the tower has cleared you for take-off, you'll experience the earth from a birds' eye view, approach a number of landing sites and practise hovering. Your flight instructor will also be happy to show you other exciting manoeuvres and give you an insight into the many aspects of flying a helicopter.

MORE INFO
The Eurocopter (now Airbus Helicopters) EC120 Colibri ("hummingbird") is a french, five-seat, single-engine, light utility helicopter. The EC120B was assembled by Eurocopter France at Marignane facility. On 9 June 1995, the first prototype conducted its maiden flight.
The EC120B Colibri is a single-engine multimission helicopter, designed for safe, simple, and cost-effective operations. It incorporates several of Eurocopter's trademarked technologies, those of prominence are the 3-bladed Speriflex main rotor head and the 8-bladed fenestron anti-torque tail rotor; these have been partially credited with contributing to the rotorcraft's noise signature, which is 6.7 decibels below International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) limits.
On 30 November 2017 Airbus Helicopters formally announced the end of the EC120 program citing low delivery numbers. A total of 720 Colibri has been produced.

- Ok, I take it back. I bit the bullet and bought on sale today. This past week's Update makes it a whole different animal. I definitely recommend it if you want something different for a lower entry price. They got rid of the 407 sounds, it definitely flies like a "lightened" 407, they added the G3X and some other QoL changes. I've left a bunch of comments on their Discord of things that would put this one up there with Cowan Sim. I like it more and more and more each time I fly it.
- I bought it the day it appeared on the marketplace. It may not be absolute top level, but for the money it ticks ALL my boxes. No regrets buying it...
- That h120 looks like it’s got a Swiss cross on the side and almost in the red livery like the ec135 helicopter for West Midlands air ambulance service
- It's a bit strange that it recently flew really, really low over the field behind my house.
- Wondrous footage! I always loved the EC120; our local police helicopter use to be the EC120 when I was a child.
