Upon arrival at the flight centre you will be greeted by friendly staff. After a short briefing on the aircraft, procedure, controls and safety, you will be taken up into the clouds! Once the checks have been carried out and you have run through the control with your instructor, you will be able to take control. Fly through the clouds and marvel at the landscapes below as you feel the thrill of controlling a flying machine. If you do not feel confident enough to fly, sit back, relax and enjoy the magnificent views of the Essex countryside.
On purchasing this experience you will be issued with a voucher valid for 10 months for one person. On receipt of this voucher you are free to call the flying centre to book your lesson. When you book it is essential to inform the centre if you are over 6'2” or over 15 stone as an extra charge might be required if a bigger plane is required. The minimum age for this experience is 12 years old. If the participant is under 18 a parent or guardian needs to join them on the day, but they do not need to come in the plane. Family and friends are welcome to come along and watch the flight. It is essential that you become a temporary member of the air centre on the day - this is free of charge and ensures you are covered by the center's insurance. All lessons are subject to availability and weather conditions on the day and so clients are advised to phone the morning of the lesson to check if it is safe to fly.
