Great start to getting a license

I was after something a little more substantial than a thrill ride - and this is a chance to learn a new skill that I've always wanted to do. One thing to note - this is not a one day experience, the lessons will usually be spread over a couple of days to give you a chance to prepare for each flight.

Fantastic experience.

------- Aviation were great, very professional, very thorough, had a great learning experience. The chance to actually fly the plane yourself was something I have wanted to do for a long time.

Everything I hoped it would be and more.

For any one that wants to fly a plane this is the one had a great experience the instructor was clearer in all of his instruction had an absolute ball .

Highly Enjoyable

ChickenBob34 20 January 2014

I found it very daunting hoping into the cockpit of a plane that I will help fly. It was great to be handed the controls on take-off and to actually take to the air and climb to a safe altitude. Trainer was very knowledgeable and made it all the more enjoyable. If you want to fly a plane then do this experience - You wont regret it.

Well thought out activity and friendly staff
