Description

Experience the unrivalled thrills of light aircraft aviation with this sensational 30 minute flight in a Cessna 152. To start, receive a run down on flight safety before boarding the plane with a professional instructor to get ready for take-off. Once in position, soar towards the sky and at altitude, marvel at the magnificent bird’s-eye views of the countryside below while your instructor takes the Cessna for a spin through the clouds. During the flight, take over the reins and become an honorary pilot – the very best way to experience this zippy little craft’s full capabilities. For those who want to continue flying, this experience actually counts towards a Private Pilot’s Licence.
