If you thought flying a plane was something you could only dream of doing then think again. This half hour lesson is perfect for beginners or those looking to learn more. What Your Experience Includes
The 30 minute flying lesson will begin with a pre-flight safety briefing and chat with your instructor. You will be taught about the aircrafts controls and will discuss what you will be doing during your first trial flying lesson. It will then be time to take a walk to the aircraft where you will go on a 'walk round' to see the plane up close. Once strapped in your instructor will then take off and demonstrate some basic manoeuvres. If you're feeling confident it will then be your chance to take hold of the controls and fly the plane yourself!
Your 30 minute lesson includes take off and landing.
