Cessna Trial Lesson
Try your hand at flying in the modern Cessna, probably the most popular training aircraft in the world. You will take control of the aircraft under the guidance of one of our experienced Instructors while enjoying the stunning scenery. You can take a lesson for 30, 45, or 60 minutes, which will count towards your qualification if you decide to continue training.
Piper Cub Trial Lesson
For a more unusual trial lesson experience, the vintage Piper Cub has that real ‘classic car’ feel. For your first experience of the Cub, you will sit behind your Instructor as you take control of the aircraft under their expert guidance. With its greater window area, our Cub allows panoramic views of the stunning countryside. If this captures your imagination, you can continue training in the Cub.

Go Solo
If you are unsure about tackling a full course to gain a Pilot’s Licence, our ‘Go solo’ course, consisting of 15 hours of training in one of our Cessna 172s or the Cub, may be enough to get you to your first solo flight! If you wish at that point, you could continue your training towards a LAPL or PPL.

Light Aircraft Pilot’s Licence
The Light Aircraft Pilot’s Licence requires a minimum of 30 hours of training, with less rigorous medical standards than the PPL. It is valid within Europe for aircraft under 2,000kg and a maximum of 3 passengers. This is the ideal licence for the leisure pilot, but can easily be upgraded to a PPL by undertaking the additional training. You can train for your LAPL on the Cessna 172 or the Cub.

Private Pilot’s Licence
The PPL is a licence of an internationally recognised standard and allows you to add more additional ratings than the LAPL. It requires a minimum of 45 hours of training. The PPL is a good place to start if you wish to advance to Commercial or more advanced flying than the LAPL allows. You can train for your PPL on the Cessna 172 or the Cub.

I took a trial lesson but was really nervous. After a great briefing by our instructor Rob, my nerves disappeared. And then we took off - it was amazing! I flew the aircraft!
