Experience Days Flying Lessons: This 30 minute flying lesson in Cornwall takes you to the skies in a wonderful 2 seater aircraft; the Cessna 152. The perfect introduction to flying for anyone who longs to take control of an aircraft as it soars through the air -- all under the watchful eye of a highly professional instructor, of course!

This experience begins at the airfield with a welcome and a full pre-flight briefing, taking you through all the safety stuff as well as introducing you to the principles of flying a light aircraft. Once you've got the theory out of the way, it's time to head to the two-seater Cessna and get ready for take off! Your instructor will do this part, of course - you won't be expected to take off on your first day! But once you're airborne and soaring high over the gorgeous Cornish coast, you will have the opportunity to take the controls and actually fly the plane yourself - an incredible opportunity and a totally memorable moment. The pilot will take you safely back to earth at the end of your flight, and you'll receive a flight certificate as a memento, but also proof that you've completed the first step along the way to obtaining your private pilot's licence, should you wish to take it further...

For an unforgettable gift, the perfect way to see Cornwall from a whole new perspective, or the perfect first step in earning that pilot's licence, choose this wonderful 30 minute flying lesson in a Cessna 152 two-seater!

I got bought this for my 30th birthday as a day I wouldn't forget. And true that is. It was an amazing experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. My instructor was reassuring and very knowledgeable. He talked me through everything so I really felt apart of the experience. I'm so happy with my day I will be booking again for the Lands End trip. I would highly recommend booking this for anyone who loves flying or just as a memory you'll never forget.
