Trial lessons are of one hour duration with a qualified instructor and the recipient will spend most of this time at the controls of the aircraft. The flight will be from Biggin Hill and will return to Biggin Hill. If the recipient subsequently decides to work towards qualifying for the Private Pilot’s Licence, this first lesson counts towards the flying hours required and can be entered in their Pilot’s log book.
Vouchers are valid at the price sold for a period of three months. Thereafter the club reserves the right to make a surcharge if our costs, notably that of fuel, increase significantly. It is not necessary to book the date and time of the trial lesson when purchasing a voucher.
You can book a trial flight in either of our aircraft but be aware that the Piper Tomahawk is subject to weight limitations when flown with two occupants (the pilot and instructor). As a general guide trial lessons for people weighing over 80kg (12.5 stones), will have to take place in the Cessna 172 aircraft. Don't worry if you are not sure on this point, if you book the wrong aircraft we can sort out the balance with you later. |
