Light aircraft trial lesson

A 30 minute motion flight simulator experience, followed by a 1 hour trial lesson in a 4 seater aircraft in which you can bring a friend for free. Includes a certificate to commemorate the day and can count towards your pilots licence.

From Compton Abbas in Dorset, valid 12 months, 2 participants.

What's included

Compton Abbas Airfield is ideally located on the top of hill on the border of Dorset and Wiltshire, and in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Already at 800ft when you line up for departure on the runway, as soon as the wheels leave the ground the scenery unfolds dramatically beneath you.
On the day of your flight you will first of all have chance to have a 30 minute ‘flight’ on our motion simulator. This will enable you to get the maximum out of your time in the air by experiencing the sensations of flight and effects of the controls whilst still on the ground.
Then it is on to the real thing. Firstly you will have a chat with one of our qualified flying instructors and plan the route you would like to take; perhaps flying over your house. Once airborne you will have the opportunity to have a go at the controls and experience the unparalleled thrill of flying a light aircraft.
Take a camera and capture the beautiful Dorset countryside and coastal views.
Once back on the ground you are presented with a Compton Abbas Certificate to commemorate the day. If you do get bitten by the flying bug, the lesson will count as the first hour in your pilots log book, and go towards your private pilots license (not as expensive as you may think!). We’re open all year round with some of the best flying weather actually being in the fresh and calm winter days.
