If you've dreamt about flying a plane these 60min lessons will give you plenty of time to really get an insight as to what learning to fly a plane is all about. We've got venues across the UK for you to choose from.

On arriving at your chosen training school, you'll be introduced to your pilot instructor, who will then run through the plane's safety briefing with you, before you head off for your one hour learning session. Make the most of the take off to check out the views below, as once you've levelled out the instructor will hand you the controls! Yes, you'll be flying a plane all by yourself within minutes of taking off! More flying lessons are available.

The 60 minute flight time is chock to chock, that's to say from the plane taxiing away to switching the engine off on your return and you will be able to cover a surprising distance in that time, giving you ample opportunity to get a feeling you are really learning to fly as you relax into being behind the controls of the plane.

If you want to fly a plane to gain your Private Pilot's Licence, these one hour fly a plane experiences will count towards your training course if you continue learning to fly.

Learning to fly experiences are timed from 'chock to chock', ie. from when the plane starts to taxi to when it switches off at the end. You will have a briefing with your pilot  in addition to this. Some flight centres will also include a personalised certificate, showing you have made the first steps in learning to fly.


Fly a plane experiences are usually available on weekdays and weekends throughout the year, depending on favourable weather conditions.
