The experience will consist of:
A pre-flight briefing with your instructor who will discuss your route and introduce the aircraft and it’s controls.
During your flight you will take full hands-on control of the aircraft under the supervision of your flying instructor. You will learn to taxi the aircraft on the ground and fly it around the local area.
Our flight experiences take off and land at Liverpool Airport so, depending on the experience you have chosen, they will be within a certain local radius (subject to air traffic and airspace restrictions). We try to accomodate requests to fly over specific places, but this should be discussed with your instructor during the pre-flight briefing. The map below shows the approximate ranges of our introductory (inner circle) and extended (outer circle) flights.
