Rotor Work

Helicopter Flight Simulator

This helicopter flight simulator has been made out of a real company aircraft that operated commercially for over 20 years flying thousands of hours based out of the King Country. It has performed deer recovery, survey, forestry, agriculture, lifting and flight training work while being flown by the company founder and former Chief Pilot, Ben Dellow. Now it’s your turn to take the controls. This helicopter flight simulator is the perfect way for people, young and old, to experience helicopter flying without the costs. It utilises real aircraft airframe and controls, making it an ultra-realistic simulator.
