Learn To Fly - 45 Minute Lesson in a Cirrus SR20 at Gloucester

This experience will last a total of approx. 85 minutes, with approx. 45 minutes spent in the air. (We don't compromise on your time in the air. When comparing us with others, check the small print and the time actually spent in the air.)

A warm welcome followed by a pre-flight briefing with your Experienced Flying Instructor. This will cover * Time in the aircraft - airborne/taxiiing. * Effects of control and how an aircraft flies. * How the headset works and speaking to air traffic control. * Safety Brief including airfield and air-side safety, safety equipment in the aircraft and how to use it and procedures in the event of an unexpected landing.

You will be involved in all stages of the flight from checking over the aeroplane to start-up and taxiing the aircraft for departure.
You will then taxi and take off for a flight of the local area with breathtaking views down the Severn Estuary with its two Suspension Bridges, The Forest of Dean and The Malvern hills.

Under the expert supervision of your Flight Instructor, you will be invited to take the controls and feel what it's like to actually fly the plane for yourself. All communication in the aircraft is maintained through an aviation headset which we will provide.

After your general handling lesson you will experience and be shown how the aircraft is routed back into the circuit pattern of the airport by Air Traffic Control.

Finally you will have a Pilot's eye view of what landing a plane is actually like viewed from the best seats in the house....the cockpit!

You will then taxi back to HQ where you will again be invited to have a go at steering along the taxiway.
After the flight you will be presented with a Flight Experience Certificate which is signed by your Instructor.
Once parked, you will have the opportunity to take photographs with the aircraft and look around other types of aircraft in the hangar. During this time your instructor will be happy to discuss any aspect of the flight, learning to fly for fun or even discuss the career opportunities available for tomorrows Airline Pilots.
