Description

This experience starts with a full saftey briefing about flying, techniques and safety. Then along with an experienced instructor, board a Piper PA28 (a dual-controlled two-seater training plane) ready for flight. Take to the skies for a 30 minute flight and see the buildings shrink below. At the pilot’s discretion, confident flyers are encouraged to take the controls of the dual-controlled two-seater training plane and experience the thrill of piloting first-hand. Flying is a thrill like no other and this experience could be even the start of some pilot training sessions.
