“Excellent Experience - South Warks Flying Club”
Just completed an hour long flight experience at South Warwickshire flying club at Wellsbourne Airfield. Can’t speak highly enough of the experience. Very friendly and welcoming, and took control of the aircraft for most of the flight. Wonderful experience and would do it again in a heartbeat.
What's Included
- Introduction to flying, aircraft controls and safety
- One-to-one training from a CAA licensed instructor in a two-seater aircraft
- One flight of 40 to 60 minutes
- Experience gift pack including personalised voucher and message card
What happens on the day?
Your extended flying lesson starts with a briefing from your instructor which will cover safety, and an introduction to some of the controls. Then it’s over to your aircraft where you will be handed a pair of headphones so that you can hear the conversation between your instructor and air traffic control, as well as enabling you to communicate with your pilot. Once in the air, you will be able to take the controls and will be guided through the flight by your qualified instructor. Not to worry about landing though, as this is usually carried out by the pilot who will land the plane and taxi back. You’ll then receive a de-briefing and your certificate of flight (depending on location).
