Don't just dream of flying a plane; learn how to do it yourself. Truly the stuff fantasies are made of, this unbelievable experience will put you in control of your very own plane. After a pre-flight briefing, you will soon be whizzing through the sky and once the instructor has shown you how, it's over to you. Rarely experienced and never forgotten, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves flying or just has a sense of adventure. It might even be the start of a new career.

Essential info
What happens on the day?
Your trial lesson begins with a pre-flight briefing from the instructor covering the route followed by how to read the cockpit instruments and handle the controls.
You will then spend time in the aircraft during which your instructor will demonstrate the basics of flying and take to the skies followed by an opportunity - if you are ready - of a real hands-on flying experience with you at the controls.
After landing your instructor will answer any flying-related questions and you may also inquire about the procedure to attain a Private Pilots Licence.
