Take the controls of a small aeroplane as you fly over beautiful English countryside
Nowhere is there a place more beautiful to learn to fly than Cumbria. With the Lake District in close proximity you are sure to enjoy some stunningly picturesque views as you soar through the sky. You will be flying a two seater Piper Tomahawk under close supervision of a highly qualified instructor. Whether this is the start of something new or a once-in-a-lifetime experience it is sure to be an adventure you will never forget.
On arrival you will have a short briefing by an experienced, professional flying instructor. Then it's time for the aircraft! You will be sat in the ‘driving seat’ as the instructor conducts some pre-flight checks and taxis the plane to the runway for takeoff! Once airborne, you will be taught basic manoeuvres and controls, before being allowed to take complete command of the plane yourself. The aircraft is fitted with dual control so the instructor can assist whenever necessary. You will be flying a two seater Piper Tomahawk and the experience will last for approximately 30 minutes.
