The Main Event

Used to dream of being a pilot when you younger? Make those dreams a reality with these fantastic flying lessons.

Available at 5 venues, this Flying Lesson is the perfect combination of observing the instructor and having the chance to take the controls as well. Across the 2 hour experience, you'll have approximately 30 minutes of flight time under the instruction of a qualified instructor. You'll then have an approx. 30 minute session to observe from the rear of the aircraft.

Your time spent behind the controls will even count towards a Private Pilot's licence, making this the perfect starter experience for someone who is seriously considering learning how to become a pilot.

This is a weather dependent activity, and as such, the take off and landing locations may differ dependant on weather and airfield conditions.

Once your back on solid ground, you'll have chance to take photos of yourself next to the aircraft for a well earned souvenir of a fabulous experience!

The main flying season is April-October for most of the locations, however Gloucestershire is a venue that runs year round.

This experience is weather dependant and can be cancelled at any point up to the booking time in the interests of safety - in the event of a cancellation you are able to rebook for an alternative date.
