Flying Lesson
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly an aircraft or do you know someone whose dream it is to fly a plane? If so then this is the perfect gift for you! Take control of a Cessna 172 with your instructor by your side and see how it feels.
Your Experience begins with a briefing followed by 30 minute session in a state-of-the-art flight simulator. This will prepare you for the flight portion of your lesson, enabling you to get the most out of your Experience.
Following the safety checks you'll board the aircraft (with you in the pilot's seat of course!) and you'll go through a series of ground checks, including a radio check, local air traffic, weather state and wind speed. Your instructor will then taxi the aircraft into position, and once you have the all-clear from the tower, will start the run-up and away you go for an unforgettable 25 minutes in the air!
Once airborne, the fun part of the flying lesson really begins.You'll be in control for the majority of the flight, practicing gaining and losing altitude, turns, banks and staying on a straight course (easier said than done!). You can stay in control of the aircraft for the whole time if you wish, or of course have the instructor take over for a few minutes whilst you take some photos to remind you of your flying lesson.
Once your time in the air is over the instructor will once again take over for landing, and once safely back on the ground you'll carry out post flight checks and have the opportunity to learn how to taxi as you steer the aircraft back to its' berth.
As a final bonus, should you get the flying bug and decide to go on and take your license, this flying lesson actually counts towards your flying time so you'll already be on your way!

Q. What is the minimum age to take a flying lesson?A. 14
Q. Do I actually get to fly the aircraft?
A. Yes. The pilot only takes over for take-off, landing, and to show you how to control the aircraft. Apart from that, it's over to you!
Q. Can I purchase more airtime?
A. Our instructors generally recommend against this, as in their experience 30 minutes airtime is quite long enough for a first lesson. However, should you get the bug and wish to take more lessons, your instructor will be more than happy to provide information on further lessons and courses.
