Trial Lessons

This is your chance to get airborne in a 2 or 4 seat, light aircraft or helicopter, and try your hand at flying under the supervision of one of our Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved instructors.

Whilst we hope you will find the experience very pleasurable, we will encourage you to do as much of the actual flying as possible so as to learn something about the joy of flying.

A Trial Lesson also makes an ideal surprise Birthday or Christmas present.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to call or pop in to talk with an experienced flight instructor. We are open 7 days a week.

Please call us on 01603 410866, or contact us via e-mail, to discuss your requirements.

For people with disabilities and who wish to try flying, please visit our disabilities section for details of the available facilities.

Friends and family are welcome to come and watch while you fly, and there is free tea and coffee, so bring your cameras.
