Experience the exhilaration of flying a light aircraft over the beautiful Devon
and Cornwall countryside, while learning the basic handling skills required to
control the aircraft.
Discover the thrill of taking-off. Marvel as the spectacular view unfolds beneath
you as your instructor flies you away from the airfield.
Upon reaching a safe altitude he will demonstrate and teach you the basic aircraft
handling manoeuvres, then "you have control" – a truly unforgettable experience.
Gift Vouchers
If you are looking for a unique gift for someone special, why not give them a flying
lesson Gift Voucher?
You can buy a trial lesson voucher for yourself or for a friend as a gift. Lessons
are for 30, 40 or 50 minutes in a two seat or four seat aircraft.
In a two seat aircraft the voucher holder has one to one tuition with his instructor.
In a four seat aircraft two additional people can also participate in the whole
experience from the rear seats.
Trial lessons consist of a short pre-flight briefing, the flight and finally a short
de-brief with a certificate.
Trial lesson vouchers are valid for six months and are transferable. Trial lessons
may be taken as a one off experience or used as an introduction to training towards
obtaining a Private Pilots Licence.
All our instructors are highly qualified commercial pilots, fully accredited by
the Civil Aviation Authority.
Our fleet of aircraft are maintained to commercial aviation standards.
Based at Plymouth City Airport, we take pride in our relaxed friendly atmosphere.
