Full description
Part car, part helicopter, part aeroplane: we present thegyrocopter!
You will take off aboard this exceptional vehicle, transforming yourself into a pilot for a day under the guidance of a flight instructor. And as you fly over the Lombardy countryside, you will also experience the unique thrill of a piloting test.
A 45-minute flight, during which you will be able to spot Milan ' s skyline from an exclusive perspective!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Albairate (MI). You will be welcomed by theinstructor who will accompany you on your autogyro flight baptism!
The experience will begin with a 15-minute briefing during which the instructor will explain how the gyrocopter works and which manoeuvres you will experience in flight. You will then climb aboard to take a closer look at the control stick and then settle into your seat.
Ready for take-off! During the flight, the instructor will not fail to give you further instruction and, once you have reached a stable altitude, it is finally your turn to take command: for about 5 minutes, you will be the pilot! The rest of the time you will be able to take photos and enjoy the panorama of the Lombardy countryside: from the woods of the La Fagiana Nature Reserve to the skyline of Milan, depending on the best weather conditions of the day. If the sky is particularly clear, you might even catch a glimpse of the Madonnina del Duomo! After a 45-minute flight, it will be time to land.
The experience will last a total of 1 hour and will end with a 'Pilot for a day' diploma!
