Flying a plane yourself
Experience the adventure of a lifetime and learn to fly a plane. The first experience of entering an airplane is special, not least because of the typical smells of the cabin. Excitement is at its peak before the adventure begins: flying a plane yourself!
Secondly, it’s a very exciting experience because you’re the real pilot of your aircraft. Your instructor is at your side, correcting you in dual command at any time if necessary. What’s more, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the landscape as you drive.
Introduction to flying an airplane
Let’s take a look at how an introduction to piloting works. First of all, it has to be said that air transport in general is safer than car travel. Throughout the flight, you’ll be accompanied by an experienced instructor who will explain a few basic principles, including aerodynamics. He explains why an airplane can fly. You’ll learn how to perform various flight maneuvers. It also explains how to adjust your aircraft’s speed during climb, descent or cruise.
It’s a good idea to take your Gopro with you to capture these exceptional moments. It’s the perfect gift for special occasions like retirement or a stag or hen party. In any case, it’s an experience to be shared with others who are part of the trip as passengers.
If you book an introduction to flying, whatever the aircraft, you’ll have an experience you’ll never forget. What’s more, it can inspire new vocations, especially among young people.
