Land Away Double Flying Lesson
Overview
Feel the thrill of piloting a light aircraft then sit back and observe as somebody else takes the controls in this Land Away Double Flying Lesson. You’ll have the chance to experience two kinds of flying lesson in this unique adventure that allows you to act as pilot on one leg of the journey and as an observer on the second leg.
You’ll land and take off from different locations, subject to the airfield and weather conditions, taking it in turns with one other person to pilot the plane, and any time spent behind the controls will count towards a Private Pilot’s licence. Once you have completed both flight legs, you will be presented with a certificate confirming completion – the perfect memento for an extraordinary experience.

What happens on the day?
On arrival at the airfield, you will be met by the ground crew and receive a short safety and technical briefing from a CAA experienced instructor. They will discuss the controls with you as well as the route that you will follow, then it’s ‘up, up and away’ as you take to the skies on a journey to remember.
Your flight will be shared with up to one other participant, who will take it in turns with you to be an observer and pilot.

Once you have completed your final landing the instructor will run through a debriefing before presenting you with a certificate to take away with you.

Land Away Double Flying Lesson ex Coventry Airport
Overall, a great day was had by all, with perfect weather. Although a little late taking off, we both enjoyed our 30 minute flights, thanks largely to our Pilot, Graham. Would certainly consider the same Experience again some day.

Great experience
My experience took place at Hull Aero Club (Beverley Airfield), it was a fantastic experience. I taxied the plane to the runway and almost straight after take off the pilot handed the controls back over to me, I was flying the plane for around 20 minutes until the pilot took over again to land. They used a four seater plane so my son could sit in the back for no extra charge and take photos whilst we were in the air which was a nice touch. This was definitely the best birthday present I've ever had and I think I'll be back in the pilot seat very soon!

Land Away Double Flying Lesson
I was made to feel welcomed with a coffee. The instructor gave a thorough brief in the office and again at the aircraft. Just feeling the controls at the take off was incredible then once into the air and at the right height I was told 'you're flying the plane'. It was amazing!! The whole experience was fantastic!

Land Away Double Flying Lesson
Had a brilliant time...would love another one! Bit difficult to find the actual office where you have to check in at (maybe put MAK Aviation on more prominent place on the emailed boarding pass??) Elstree had great restaurant for spectators. Close proximity to the aircraft. Having the land away double was great, as you got to appreciate the view whilst other person was flying. Took off at Elstree and landed at North Weald, then returned to Elstree. Brilliant time, loved it.

Land Away Double Flying Lesson
This was a great expereince! When my son, Phil, booked this for me (age 72 - 3 months), I thought it was a joke. I found that on the day, I was suprisingly calm. So thank you very much for a wonderful day. My grandchildren think I'm a hero!

Had a fantastic experience eventually. Craig the instructor was fantastic and made the day, however the organisation of the checking in process was quite farcical. They didn't seem to have a clue who was doing what, overall though was a good day.
