About the experience

Take a seat in one of the best selling air trainers of all time as you board a Piper PA28 and take to the skies over Northamptonshire with this extensive flying lesson alongside a friendly instructor. With the availability for you to bring along a friend or family member to join in with the flying lesson fun you can really make this a full day out at Sywell Aerodrome. Whether you’re serious about your flying and are trying to clock up the hours for your licence, or simply want to have a little go with the controls to get a feel for flying, this trial flight is ideal as the instructors go above and beyond to tailor the session to you. If you’ve never flown before, you’re in the right place as not only is the Piper light aircraft a great one to learn in, but Sywell has a host of experienced instructors ready to get you comfortable in the skies as they offer a wide range of training from all aspects of aviation to aerobatics. Although it can be a little nerve-racking to step into the aircraft for the first time and take the controls, rest assured, you will be in the best hands and can be as involved as you like with this trial flight. In no time, you will be sitting back, marvelling at the view over the skies and enjoying all the fun and thrills that flying has to offer.
