Trial Instructional Flights
If you would like to take a trial lesson, or buy a trial lesson for someone else, please contact our Booking Officer. For a Trial Instruction Flight (TIF), no licence is required, student pilots must be 15 or over, and healthy enough to hold a drivers' licence. TIFs typically last half an hour (we can do 1 hour also), and contribute towards logged flying hours for your pilot certificate.
A Trial Instructional Flight is where it all begins. A TIF is a 30 minute hands on flying expereince designed to give you a taste of what its like to learn to fly.
It all starts a pre-Flight breifing with one of our experienced instructors. You will be briefed on the funtalmental princpals of flight and also be given an introduction to the Aircraft you'll be flying in. Following your walk around of the aircraft you'll stap yourself in and begin your first 1/2 hour of youer flying career. You'll be hands on from the start with your instructor as you taxi to the runway for takeoff. With your instructor at the controls you will blast off skywards and experience the amazing freedom of flight.
Once airborne you'll be given the controls under the close eye of your instructor you will conduct some basic manevors demostarting basic flight characteristics. After 20 minutes in the training area you will begin youe decent towatds the airfield and contact a couple of circuits before landing and taxing back to the club house for a post-flight breifing and Queastion and Answer session over a cuppa.
