Beginner's Flying Lessons Information

"I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of The Little Prince

The famous French writer and pilot, the author of one of the most loved books of all time, The Little Prince, could not have said it any better. There is indeed something freeing and magical in the act of flying. The sensations you get flying a plane on your own are comparable to no other.

If you like many other people have ever dreamed about learning to fly but have always been put off by the idea of attending an expensive flight school then perhaps now is the time to turn your dreams into real action. There is no need to go through extensive aviation training and spend thousands of pounds – flying lessons are available for much less time and energy in a lot of locations near you. Activity gift sites now offer flying lesson vouchers for a whole variety of flying experiences that you can buy for yourself of gift to a loved one.

You can start turning your dream into reality by getting that first introductory flying lesson. Qualified instructors will be there to guide you through your first 30 or 60 minutes of real flying time. Whether it’s an aeroplane or helicopter you want to fly, the best way to gather some first-hand experience will be the introductory lesson under expert tuition where you’re generally familiarised with the cockpit and control board. You’ll also do some short flying manouveres where you can take the controls in your own hands. If that first lesson leaves you wanting more, you can opt for the five-hour pilot lessons pack or try out some other flying opportunities out there – flying a gyrocopter, microlighting, aerobatic flights, gliding, piloting different aircrafts. It’s all out there and it’s now closer than ever.

Your friends and family can join you on your day up in the sky – most airfields have clubhouses where they can enjoy drinks and snacks while they wait for you to return and tell them all about it. Some aeroclubs use four seater planes where it will be possible for one of your friends to even join you in the rear seat as you go up. All experiences include a pre-flight briefing and the chance to fly the aircraft yourself. Many places will also provide you with a personal certificate, proving that you have really done what so many others only dream about.
