30 Minute Flight Lessons

Nationwide

Experiences Flash element
 

These half hour flight lessons are one of Into the Blues most popular experience gift vouchers, with schools across the UK just waiting to take you flying. Other types of flying lessons are available at all these schools.

Your lesson will start with a briefing from your pilot instructor on the basic principles of flight and an explanation of the three main controls used - the ailerons, rudder and elevator. It all sounds pretty straight forward really, but believe us it's a very different matter when you climb onboard the aircraft...you WILL be actually flying, this is no practice run! 

Once taken off and levelled out - it's over to you and the flying fun really begins! We can pretty much guarantee you'll forget all about the magnificent views you enjoyed during take off - you'll be totally engrossed in the fact that you are actually in control of the plane. A truly fantastic flying experience and a perfect way to take your first lesson in flight.

Taking place at flying clubs all over the country in modern high standard training aircraft, the lesson can be treated as the first flight in a course of instruction and may be counted towards a pilots licence. 

Experience Summary: Flight times are quoted 'chock to chock', ie. from when the plane starts to taxi, to when it switches off at the end of the lesson. A briefing with your pilot will last 10-30 minutes in addition to this. Some schools will also include a personalised certificate.  

Availability:  Depending on favourable weather conditions, flight lessons are usually available on weekdays and weekends throughout the year.

Requirements: The minimum age for a lesson is 14 years old. Minimum height is 4'6", maximum 6'4", with a maximum weight of 14 stone (some clubs may be able to take up to 16 stone by arrangement). Customers need to provide two forms of identity including a photo id, e.g. a passport, prior to their flight lesson. 

Spectators and Facilities: Friends and family are welcome to come and watch the take off and landing. Flight schools offer different levels of facilities, however most have a clubhouse providing toilets, viewing areas and refreshments.

Note: Flight lessons are all at Civil Aviation Authority approved clubs. * The two seater flights in Oxfordshire use a powered glider aircraft, where conditions allow part of the flight will include a demonstration of gliding.
