Join the Helicentre Aviation team for a fun Open Day and BBQ to celebrate World Helicopter Day. There will a number of helicopters on display to have a look round as well as competitions and fun activities.

Students and staff will be on hand to answer any questions you many have about the helicopter industry and the training courses available at Helicentre Aviation, such as our Scholarship Programme and BSC(Hons) Degree Course which we run in partnership with Middlesex University.

We will be running one of our popular Pleasure Flying Events on the day, so if you fancy taking a scenic trip on any of our experience flights, such as our Leicester City Skyline Tour, Helibuzz flights, Rutland Water Tours and Thrillseeker flights you can either call us on 0116 259 0186 or visit our online shop.

We will also be running half price 30-minute Trial Lessons throughout the day for £99 (usually £199). So if you fancy getting to grips with the controls and experience what it really feels like to be a pilot then don’t miss out on this great opportunity. Trial Lessons can be booked in advance by calling a member of our Operation Team on 0116 259 0186.

Join our Facebook Event for updates about the day.

On the day before (Sat 18 Aug) we are holding a Career Seminar at our base at Leicester Airport run by our Head of Training, Captain Sarah Bowen. The Seminar provides an excellent opportunity to gather all the information you need with regard to career opportunities for helicopter pilots, all the training involved, the cost and how to fund any of our courses, including our one-of-a-kind BSc (Hons) degree in partnership with Middlesex University, as well as giving you the chance to get up into the air in a Cabri G2 helicopter with one of our discounted Trial Lessons (for just £99, usually £199).
