Description

Begin this light aircraft session on firm ground in West Sussex by meeting an experienced pilot for a full safety briefing and talk on important flying techniques. Next, hop into a dual-controlled two-seater Piper training plane and take to the skies for a thrilling 60 minute flight. During the session, take over the controls and fly the craft under the supervision of the pilot. Should the experience bring out the flying bug, this flight time can count towards a Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL).
