Welcome aboard this amazing light aircraft trial flying lesson experience from Prestwick Airport, located near Ayr. This experience offers the thrill of actually flying a light aircraft over Scotland.

Starting with a 20 minute safety briefing and familiarisation of the aircraft, you’ll be asked if there’s anything you want to see specifically in the area, for a ‘fly-past.’ On-board, your instructor will do pre-flight checks, start the plane, taxi to the runway and take off.

Prestwick Airport is one of Scotland’s biggest Airports, with international air travel, cargo and military flights taking off and landing all day. Now you will join the line up for take off at the start of your flight experience. Once in the air, the plane will climb to around 2000 feet at around 120mph. Once at cruising altitude you’ll take the controls of the aircraft, putting it though manoeuvres such as cruising, climbing and banking, all under the safe supervision of the instructor.

You’ll get amazing panoramic views of the area and see landmarks such as the River Clyde, Turnberry, Dundonald Castle and amazing views across to Arran. The aircraft’s panoramic windows allow you to view the world beneath you from both the front and back seats. You’ll be able to communicate with the instructor through the aircraft radio and will also hear the air traffic control and other aircraft in the busy skies around west Scotland.

In the four-seater airplane there is the opportunity for an observer to fly in the rear seat, whilst you pilot the plane in the front. What better way to experience flying!
