Pre-flight Briefing | 30 minutes
Before climbing into the cockpit you will first spend half an hour in a classroom with one of our friendly instructors. Here you will cover the basics of aerodynamics, and what you can expect to see and feel once your flight commences. Once the briefing has concluded, you instructor will accompany you to the aircraft and take you through a pre-flight inspection.
The Flight |
Now all the preliminaries are completed it is time to do what you came here to do… fly! On the TIF your instructor will use a method called Demo, Direct and Supervise, whereby they show you a particular task and talk you through it; once you’re comfortable, they’ll sit back and watch you accomplish it all by yourself.
During this exhilarating flight you’ll taxi the aircraft on the runway, assist in the take-off and, once airborne, get to try various general aircraft manoeuvres. All this occurs while safely under the supervision and control of your qualified instructor.
Post-Flight Debriefing | 20 minutes
Once you’re back safely on the ground and the aircraft is parked we will return to the classroom for a debriefing session. Here your instructor will honestly assess your competency and help you connect the theory with you learnt beforehand with what happened during the flight. This gives you an opportunity to ask you instructor any questions you have about the experience.
Now that your First Lesson has whet your appetite for flight, your instructor can outline the best way for you to take the next step in you training; whether that’s flying for fun, or to begin forging your new career in aviation.
We believe that once you have experienced the initial thrill of flying, like us, you too will be hooked!
