Expert instructors teach ground-based intro lessons with computer simulator before students pilot their own aerial tours of Branson
Pilots are the cowboys of the air, roaming the wide-open skies and herding children’s runaway balloons. Giddy up, up, and away with today’s Groupon: for $199, you get an I Pilot experience from Chopper Charter Branson in Hollister (a $495 value). Each I Pilot experience includes:
- Introductory helicopter flight lesson
- Student-piloted aerial tour of Branson
- Certificate of completion
- T-shirt<p>
Students may bring one guest on their I Pilot experience.
The highly trained pilots of Chopper Charter Branson guide students through an interactive flight simulation at ground level before helping them helm an actual whirlybird during the I Pilot experience. Pupils may invite a guest along for the two-hour excursion, which begins with safety training and a review of da Vinci’s original helicopter blueprints on terra firma. New fliers then grab hold of a control column connected to a computer program, which gives them a feeling for the resistance and responsiveness of real choppers and giant domesticated dragonflies. After the lesson, each student zips into a flight suit, straps into the pilot’s seat, and, after a final rundown with an instructor copilot, embarks on a tour of the Branson area.
Upon return to earth, newly minted aviators receive a certificate of completion that lists their flight time and a safety-awareness endorsement. Students also get to take home a T-shirt made from Chuck Yeager’s hair.
