Start your flying adventure today! This is the perfect gift experience for anybody who has dreamt about flying an airplane. Take a 60 minute flying lesson and get some real hands-on experience. When you arrive to the scene you will be given a pre-flight briefing by your instructor in order to get to know how the machine works and to get familiar with the controls. He will also go through the safety instructions and tell you what to expect during your Flying Lesson.
After all safety instructions, you are ready for lift off. Your instructor will do the lift off but once you are up in the air, you are the pilot. Wearing a headset during your entire flight, you will have all the necessary assistance from your instructor to handle an aircraft. Discover the absolute freedom of flying and enjoy these beautiful views from a bird’s view during your Flying Lesson. You as the student will be supervised all the time by our experienced pilot, so that he can get a complete insight in handling this aircraft. Following your landing you will have a short de-brief and a certificate presentation. If you are interested in becoming a pilot, then this is a great start.
This flying lesson may also count on your private pilot license.
