Enjoy a trial flight at Nottingham City Airport! This well-placed airport is owned and operated by a friendly team offering the full range of aviation services including top notch flight training. Being so close to Nottingham city centre means you can enjoy the city landscape as you fly.

For your trial flight you will be taken up in one of the school's many Piper PA38 Tomahawk aircraft, all of which are owned and operated by the centre. The Tomahawk is one of the world's favourite two seater training planes and is renowned for being easy to fly and stable in the air.

Having been introduced to your flight instructor, you will have a pre-flight briefing on the ground before heading out to the plane. The pilot will handle the take off and once you've reached altitude you'll be able to take the controls yourself for a thrilling experience at flying.

After landing and taxiing back to the apron, you'll be invited for a post flight debrief and be presented with a personalised lesson certificate to round off your trial flight experience in Nottingham.
