Aeroplane Flying Lessons

Gift Vouchers for Aeroplane Flying Lessons Near Me

Flying lessons are similar to driving lessons (forgetting the plane) - as such you need at least 45 hours of flight before you can attempt to get your Private Pilot's Licence (PPL).

We offer a variety of 'Taster' packages in 30 and 60 minute increments. These are a great way to get a taste of flying and see if it's for you before committing to obtaining a licence (which is required to be a professional pilot). You can also enjoy a one-time flight experience just for fun or even as a passenger. In any case, it's a fantastic day out. Now, you can even check our live Aeroplane Flying Lessons Calendar to book your seat at a variety of locations around the UK.

How To Become A Pilot

Flying lessons and pilot training are provided by fully qualified and licenced flight instructors from approved training organisations such as the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority), who will be on hand to ensure your safety is a top priority at all times so you can focus on having the most fun possible.

Flying lessons offer a unique opportunity to delve into the fascinating mechanics of flight. You'll learn firsthand How Planes Take Off, understanding the principles of lift and thrust that enable these incredible machines to rise gracefully into the sky. Your instructor will guide you through the controls, demonstrating how to steer the aircraft, climb to new altitudes, and make smooth landings. This hands-on experience provides invaluable insight into the science and skill behind aviation, making your time in the cockpit both educational and exhilarating.

Thanks to their years of experience, they will be able to provide anyone who is fortunate enough to receive one of our gift vouchers the opportunity to cross something off their bucket list or realise their dream of becoming a fully licenced pilot with extensive and priceless aviation knowledge.

With FlyDays, get started now on the path to earning your private pilot's licence or just getting some quality time in the air.

Important: We urge you to carefully review the itinerary for the vouchers you are looking at because some packages are not considered lessons and you will simply be a passenger touring rather than taking the wheel.

What Flying Sessions are Available?

We provide a wide range of training programmes and flying lessons. These range from quick 15-minute taster sessions to longer, more difficult 30-minute classes.

There are also our 60 Minute Flying Lessons to try out if you wanted to spend a bit more time in the air during a session. Additionally, we provide training where flying time can be applied toward getting your private pilot's licence. These lessons will take place with professional instructions in flying clubs or airfields across the UK that have a huge amount of experience in getting people comfortable in the skies.
