Description
Your flying lesson starts with a briefing from your instructor before the flight. This will cover safety, and an introduction to some of the controls. Once in the plane, your flying lesson starts from the time the engine turns over. You will be given headphones so that you can hear conversations between your instructor and air traffic control, and so that you can talk with your instructor. You will be able to take the controls once in the air but your pilot will generally land the plane and taxi back.
This flying lesson can be taken all year round subject to weather and availability.
