• Time spent on this experience counts towards your flying hours for a PPL!
Discover for yourself the joys and thrills of piloting your own plane. Upon arrival at the airfield, you will be met by your flying instructor who will take you through the pre-flight checks and inspections. With adrenalin pumping it will be time to board the plane where your pilot will show you around the cockpit and the control panel and in no time at all your instructor will be taxi-ing down the runway, ready for take-off.
Feel the rush as you realise the wheels have left the ground and you watch the scenery take shape around you. Then it will be over to you! The dual-controlled airplane will give you all the confidence you need to take the controls. Watch the Atlantic Ocean open out in front of you as you take a leisurely flight up towards the West Coast – looking out for Robben Island. No matter which direction you fly, the feeling of being at the controls as you turn and bank, increase and decrease in altitude will have you coming back time and again.
With a fully trained and capable pilot beside you all the way, you will be able to enjoy your time at the controls and shortly you will have to give them back as your instructor will take you once again back to the airfield and handle the landing. This experience will have you longing for more ‘air time’ and makes the perfect introduction to private flying. Time spent on this experience can be logged as part of your hours for a private pilot’s license. Please note actual time in air is closer to 25mins as the lesson starts as soon as the plane motor is started.
