Light Aircraft Flying Experiences

Light Aircraft Flying Lessons

All seasoned and experienced commercial pilots started their flying careers from flying small planes, sometimes from very young ages. It's no different to say, today's Formula 1 drivers starting their career in go-karting in their childhood.

So a Light Aircraft such as a Cessna 150 or 152, a Cirrus SR22 or a Piper PA-28 Cherokee is, in truth, the best sort of aircraft to commence flight training in, or even to give flying a try out to see if it's something you'd like to pursue further.

Whilst not exclusively two-seater aircraft, most of them such as those from Cessna are, and the reason why they're used for flying lessons is because they allowed the qualified pilot instructor to offer their guidance and tutelage around the controls whilst up in the air, and easily take control as needed.

Of course, they will also be building your confidence whilst you're airborne, so you can start putting your newly acquired flying skills into practice. So even if your prior knowledge and experience is pretending to fly a plane in the playground at junior school, you will be learning in the best possible setup under the guidance of experienced eyes.

Flying Experiences Light Aircraft Cost

You might be wondering exactly what the price of flying in a light aircraft is? Well, there's actually two answers to this question. For those who are just giving it a trial or are novices to flying, the answer is it's not as expensive as you might think.

We're proud to have a number of light aircraft flight packages available which are priced at under £100, meaning that you can enjoy a trial flying session without needing to break the bank to do so.

Of course, if you decide to continue your training after your initial flying session to obtain your PPL (Private Pilot's Licence), then it goes without saying that there is both a significant long term financial investment at stake, as well as that of your time and dedication into the bargain - in excess of 45 hours of training will need to be completed.
