Trial Lessons

Whether as a gift for a friend or relative or as an introduction to flying, the first step to take is to arrange one of our Trial Lessons. This involves a thorough briefing by the instructor followed by the flight, during which you will be given as much time at the controls as possible. For youngsters to elders, aspiring teenagers 14 years up can experience the joy of flying.

The instructor will carry out the take-off and will then demonstrate the effects of controls on the aircraft, involving turning as well as climbing and descending. Following this you will be given control of the aircraft and will be flying until the end of the allocated time when the instructor will land the aircraft. If you decide to proceed with your private pilot's license this time will count towards your required flying hours.

​After completing your online purchase, a voucher will be sent to you. Then all that is required is a phone call to book your slot. On the day of your flight please call a couple of hours earlier to check that the weather is suitable for your flight.
