You'll go backstage to find out about the preparation and running of a helicopter flightFasten your seatbelts, because we're going to take you through the unique sensations experienced during the flight and, of course, after the landing.
Preparation
Ah, a helicopter flight ! It's not every day you get the chance to soar above the clouds. So it's a good idea to prepare carefully for this memorable event, isn't it?
It's the same as when you set off on a scenic drive on two or four wheels: you never start off without first carrying out a check. With the chopper, it's the same thing. Up there in the sky, there's no service station or repair shop to solve a minor technical problem!
First stage: our rotor specialists examine the overall condition of the machine in minute detail. There's no question of boarding a winged specimen that has lost a few feathers.
Next comes checking the tanks and gauges. You can't take any risks with this! There has to be enough fuel for the whole flight, and above all... we have to avoid any unexpected surprises.
After these rigorous checks - carried out every day by our staff - it's time for the pilot's instructions. The pilot clarifies the basic safety rules to be observed during the flight.
And that's it! Once everything is ready, you can put on your helmet and soar towards the blue or tumultuous skies, depending on the day's weather.
So are you ready to take to the skies? No, I'm joking! As I mentioned earlier, we never ask this question before a flight... but rather afterwards!
The process
The majestic flight
A helicopter flight, is a bit like climbing into a hot-air balloon, with the added thrill of spinning blades. The moment of take-off is pure magic. You feel the machine vibrate beneath your feet and suddenly a sensation of lightness comes over you. The helicopter rises gently, defying the laws of gravity. It's amazing to find yourself observing the world from these heights, watching everything shrink until it looks like a scale model.
The return to earth
Having explored the landscapes above, the time comes to return to our solid planet Earth. This is where you truly experience all the excitement that such a journey can offer: that distinctive sensation of slowly descending towards what seemed so tiny from the celestial heights. Little by little, the earth comes closer, until the helicopter finds its landing spot again and gently touches down after this exceptional adventure!
Unique sensations
Taking to the skies in a helicopter offers an unrivalled adrenalin rush. Imagine yourself perched hundreds of metres above the ground, with the world seemingly shrinking progressively beneath your feet, like a traveller on a never-ending road. It's exhilarating!
After this vertiginous ascent, it's time to relax and marvel. Aboard this mechanical volcano, the scenery flies past before your astonished gaze: towering peaks or shimmering ocean... everything takes on a new perspective as seen from the skies!
Finally comes the moment of descent; it's an aerial dance between excitement and anguish - the impressions are ineffable. A helicopter flight is definitely associated with a unique experience that gives you wings!
After the flight
Post-flight debriefing
As the helicopter's rotor slowly comes to a halt, the sensations of the flight linger. The smiling pilot turns to you for the traditional debriefing. You talk passionately about your experience: the breathtaking view, the adrenalin and the feeling of being weightless for a few moments. There's nothing like the pleasure of helicopter rental for a unique experience.
Memories engraved forever
As we leave the airstrip, one realisation strikes deeply: this experience will remain indelible. Each image captured from the skies is a unique canvas painted by Mother Nature herself, which now adorns the gallery of unforgettable memories. The surge of emotions between heaven and earth has created a powerful bond with this helicopter, which has become much more than just a flying machine; it is now witness to a precious moment in your life.
