Helicopter Pilot Course
At the indicated time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Ushuaia and take you to the helicopter base, where you’ll begin a course that allows you to fly over the stunning landscapes of Tierra del Fuego while piloting the aircraft.
Upon arrival, an experienced pilot will welcome you and, for 1 hour, teach you the basic fundamentals of flight. You’ll also carry out a complete aircraft inspection to understand the controls. Everything you need before boarding the Robinson R44 helicopter that you’ll control yourself. Are you ready for takeoff?
Once on board the helicopter, you’ll take control of the aircraft yourself. You’ll feel the power of the engine, the response of the wind, and the unmatched sensation of rising above the breathtaking landscapes of the End of the World.
