If you're interested in learning to fly, then this is the perfect experience with plenty of time to fly the aircraft. During the 60 minute Introductory Flight you will take the controls and experience the thrill of flight under the expert guidance of an experienced flight instructor.
Your friendly instructor will go through a complete ground briefing before you take to the air. During your 30 minute flight in the local area you will take control under the close supervision of your experienced instructor. This will give you a 'feel' for the machine in its natural environment and you will find it surprisingly easy. You will only be asked to do things the instructor knows you can easily accomplish and absorb. During the flight you can relax in the knowledge that your instructor will handle the landing at the end of the flight. Maximum weight for Sling 2 is 90kg. If participant is over 90kg, MUST select Cessna 172
The time spent flying counts towards your Pilot Certificate, Recreational Pilot Licence, Private Pilot Licence or even your Commercial Pilot Licence.
Please allow around 2 hours for the whole experience, this includes a 15 minute pre-flight briefing and 60 minutes flying time.
