Trial Flights
Go on - treat yourself today, you won't regret it!
Whether you are considering starting a PPL(Gyroplane) course or simply finding out what taking control of an aircraft feels like, the Trial Flights will provide an unforgettable experience for anyone who samples it for the first time.
As a CAA authorised Flying Training Organisation, we conduct our Trial Flights with same level of professionalism and attention to safety as we would any of our pilot courses or flights.
Trial Flights
All our aircraft are equipped with dual controls and you will occupy the captain’s seat in the front with one of our experienced flying instructors in the back or next to you (depending on aircraft type chosen) – it is the best seat in the house.
Throughout the Trail Flight you will be encouraged to take the controls for most of the flight with the instructor intervening mainly during the take-off and landing phases of the flight.
All lessons are preceded by a classroom briefing to explain the basic controls and to discuss the flight route.
Any time flown during a Trail Flight will count towards the PPL(G) course should you decide to take up flying. You will also receive a certificate proving you have completed your flight with our school.

The Sunny Flight
An exciting 15 minute trial flight allowing you enough time to sample the controls of the aircraft.
The Silver Flight
This lesson lasts a full hour. In that time you could, for example, fly along the Thames Estuary, Gravesend, Maidstone and Leeds Castle before returning.
The Bronze Flight
This will give you approximately 30 minutes in the aircraft, enough for you to fly around the local area:
Rochester / Gillingham / St Mary’s Marsh.
The Golden Flight
With you at the controls of the aircraft, this truly fantastic experience flight takes you along the East Kent Coast, past the beautiful and imposing Reculver Twin Towers of the medieval church, which was one of the earliest Roman Forts, all the way along to Margate. You will follow the coastline where the old Redsands Towers are visible in the distance, and maybe you also get to see Seals on Horse Sands.
