Flying Day | Flying Lesson | Fly a Plane

This experience takes place in a CAP10, arguably the best aerobatic training aircraft in the world. You will receive a comprehensive briefing before your flight where you will be able to ask any questions you may have. Once airborne your instructor will demonstrate a full aerobatic sequence for you to watch, learn and enjoy. They will then invite you to handle the controls of the aircraft (optional) so you can experience the sheer thrill and exhilaration of aerobatic flying.

Gliding is perhaps the most elegant way that humans can get airborne. It's a breathtaking way to fly, soaring on the same rising currents of air that the birds use, with no roaring engine to spoil the peace. This experience is a perfect introduction to gliding, giving you the chance to really get to grips with it. You'll start with a briefing session before climbing aboard your dual-controlled glider with your expert instructor. Then the glider is towed into the air by a light aircraft (okay, this bit is noisy, but you have to get airborne somehow). Once you're at the right height the rope is released, the aircraft peels away and you're free to soar and circle lazily in the thermal currents. You'll enjoy breathtaking views of the countryside below you and the sky around you. You'll be able to take the controls and pilot the glider yourself. The course includes three aerotow flights, on-ground tuition and one month membership. It might just be the start of a love affair with gliding! Click Here for More Details...

If we were meant to fly, we'd have wings. We've got the Wright brothers to thank for the alternative - light aircraft. With this experience you'll both get to fly a plane yourself - fantastic fun whether you're trying it as a one-off, or taking your first steps towards a Private Pilot's Licence. Your experience starts with your feet firmly on the ground, with a briefing about flying techniques and safety. Climb aboard your dual-controlled four-seater training plane with a fully-qualified instructor, before chocks away for your flight, during which time (at the pilot's discretion) one of you will take the flight controls to experience the absolute joy of flying a plane. Then drop down for tea at a neighbouring airfield before turning round and swapping controls so the other budding pilot can take their turn and help to fly you all back to base. The feeling of control is brilliant, not to mention the breathtaking views... you'll never look at planet Earth in quite the same way again. Click Here for More Details...

You’re the pilot of an airliner and you're fast approaching one of the world's major airports. With 200 passengers on board your skills and expertise are really put to the test. Your hands grip the control column. Can you do it? Can you land? These simulators are used to train professional pilots - so they are astonishingly realistic. Forget amusement arcade games and PC simulators, these simulators replicate the sensations of flying to extraordinary degrees of accuracy. Your simulator will move and sound like a real plane; you'll see the runway lights, feel the bumps as you land, and hear the roar as you put the engines into reverse thrust. This is an amazing experience for anyone with an interest in flying. Click Here for More Details...
