Trial Flights Details
Your trial flight begins with a briefing from your instructor on the main controls, covering the effect of the control column, the power and rudder, before heading out for your first lesson!
Once airborne the instructor will hand over control and it's over to you.... Don't worry, they're all experienced and will be keeping you straight and level.
This is your time to enjoy the thrill of flying an aircraft around the North East! Turns and climbs, you have control, just make sure you look out of the window to see the amazing views!
Your instructor will point you in the right direction to fly back to Durham Tees Valley Airport where you'll receive your certificate with the date and aircraft times you flew; should you wish to come back and learn to fly you've all the records you need.
A trial flight is the perfect way to start in aviation. Whether it's a gift experience, or something you've always wanted to do, the freedom of flying is superb. It can be the start of a fantastic hobby, a career in aviation or a tick in the list of -
"I always wanted to do that".
There really is no feeling like taking control of the aircraft for the very first time.
