Four Seater Flying Classes

Experience Summary: The flying times are quoted in 'chock to chock', ie. from when the plane starts to taxi to when it switches off at the end of the flying. The class briefing will last 10-30 minutes in addition to this. If you wish to extend your time in the aircraft, most flying schools will allow you to upgrade the duration of your class when booking (additional fees payable on site). Some flight centres will also include a personalised certificate.  

Availability: Flying classes are usually available on weekdays and weekends throughout the year, depending on favourable weather conditions.

Requirements: The minimum age for the flight is 14 years old. Minimum height is 4'6", maximum 6'4". The maximum weight in the four-seater plane is 18 stone. Flyers need to provide two forms of identity including a photo id, e.g. a passport prior to their flying classes.

Spectators and Facilities: Visitors are welcome to come and watch the take off and landing. It may be possible for a friend or family member, who is also interested in flying classes, to sit in the back of the plane and listen in on headphones. This is at the discretion of the instructor on the day.

Note: All flying classes take place at Civil Aviation Authority approved clubs.
