Four Seater Flying Lessons Nationwide

If you want to take your trial flight in style, then these 30-minute or one-hour classes in a four seater aircraft are a great choice, with venues available nationwide. What's more, these vouchers are flexible, as there's no need to choose the location now, the lucky person going on the flight can take their pick when they book their date.

Each of these trial lesson flights last for either thirty minutes or a full hour, with the safety briefing time on top of that, so you get maximum time in the cockpit. As all trial flights use four-seater light aircraft, a friend or family member (at the discretion of the pilot on the day) can join you in the cabin and witness the memorable moment you take over the yoke at cruising altitude.

The flying instructor handles the tricky aspects of the flight, such as taxiing, takeoff and landing sequence. Then, once you're safely up in the air, it's over to you to take control and give free reign to your flying aspirations as you aim straight and level. Your instructor is in the seat next to you, giving you advice and tuition through the headphones, enabling you to fly the plane both safely and enjoyably.

These trial flights are a popular choice for aero enthusiasts everywhere. They're unique in the fact that they are in four seater aircraft. Flights in four seaters have the advantage of greater weight limits (16 stone+ compared with 14 stone in two seater planes), as well as the opportunity to invite someone to fly with you in the back seat.

For true aerial aficionados, these trial flights serve as an excellent grounding for continuing your studies in order to gain your Private Pilot License (PPL), as the time spent on these four seater lessons counts towards your training pilot's log book.

With schools throughout the UK offering four-seater trial flights, the chance to fly in a bigger light aircraft is not to be missed. If you fancy a smaller plane, we also recommend our 30-minute two-seater aircraft flying lessons at aero clubs nationwide.
