Warning: Flying lessons can be very addictive!

Feel the adrenalin rush as you take the controls of a light plane and soar across the sky! You get one-to-one training with a Civil Aviation Authority licensed flying instructor, and your flying time counts towards a Private Pilot's licence. Choose either the Flying Lesson Discovery option for an introduction to flying or Flying Lesson Explorer for a longer, more in-depth lesson.

What happens on the day
Flying lessons start 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, the flying lessons start 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. Once in the air, you will be able to take the controls but your pilot will generally land the plane and taxi back.
