That's why there are flight simulators to train your skills and get better and more proficient. • Pay attention to your RPM and altitude at all times. You will find that flying a helicopter is much cooler and more challenging than you ever imagined. • Fly too high, close to the operational ceiling or if you fly too close to the mountain walls you will notice changes in the aircraft's behavior. We care a lot about physics and everything a real-life pilot faces when performing mountain rescues. Test and Hone Your Flight • Weather – choose the weather conditions of your flight and challenge yourself even more by flying in storms and with little visibility. • Aerodynamic Control and Ambient Perception - Flying at high altitudes and sweeping over the mountains will separate good pilots from apprentices.

Physics, the "state-of-the-art" • All helicopter control surfaces interact and are impacted by physics throughout the flight, bringing unprecedented flight reality! And using your virtual reality headset you will be immersed in a truly incredible experience! • Weather, wind, altitude, speed, and attitude of the helicopter will be felt. During missions, you will have to transport passengers, cargo, and even trees using the external rope attached to your skis. Complete control of the helicopter will be very important!
