Extended 2 hour Hands-on Light Aircraft Flight from Glasgow International Airport

  • Fly further with this extended 2 hour flight time
  • Take the controls of a light aircraft and experience the thrill of flying
  • Expert tuition from your qualified instructor

Welcome aboard this amazing, extended trial flying lesson from Glasgow International Airport. This experience offers the thrill of actually flying a light aircraft over Scotland!

You’ll be met by your flight instructor on arrival who will run through your 20 minute safety briefing and familiarisation of the aircraft. You’ll be asked if there is anything you want to see specifically in the area for a fly-past as part of your experience. Then you are good to go on your extended 120 minute flight. Onboard your instructor will do pre-flight checks, start the plane, taxi to the runway and take off.

Once in the air, the plane will climb to around 3000 feet at around 120mph. Once at cruising altitude you’ll be offered the opportunity to take the controls of the aircraft. Put it though manoeuvres such as cruising, climbing and banking, all under the safe supervision of the instructor.

Depending on air traffic control restrictions, you may fly around the Glasgow City perimeter or alternatively, head west towards Greenock before heading north to Loch Lomond and perhaps even on to Stirling and The Campsie Hills. You’ll be able to watch the world pass beneath you through the aircraft’s panoramic windows.

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 area.

This trip is a great experience for those looking for an introduction to gaining a pilot licence or simply an amazing flight and a great experience!
