Experience Flights
All our introduction flights are flown by an experienced Pilot who will guide you through a safety brief and review the aircraft safety features. This type of flight is conducted in accordance with the CAA as an organisation involved in promoting aerial sport and leisure aviation. You will receive an email from the Aero Club within 7 days from purchase to discuss a suitable time and day. Our main flying season commences on the 1st March until the 31st Oct.

These are not flying lessons and you cannot take control of the aeroplane nor will the time count towards obtaining a licence.
