What is included with a flying voucher?Learn what to expect on the day of your first flying lesson.

faq

'Introductory' flying lessons, also known as 'Trial' lessons' or 'Experience' flights - whatever name you call them, the vouchers featured on this site offer an amazing range of very different experiences, but they also share a lot in common. From the big three - Planes, Helicopters and Microlights - to some more weird and wonderful options, there will always be features of the lesson you can be sure of.

We know that some of the aviation jargon used to describe the various deals can be a bit mystifying, but we want to make sure every would-be pilot who uses FlyingLessons.co.uk finds their perfect experience no matter what. That's why we only feature flying lessons that meet our exacting standards - that is to say, they are all genuine flying lessons, taught by genuine flying instructors - and they all include hands-on experience of flying a real aircraft*... (Unless of course you choose a simulator lesson - but you get the idea!)

ALL vouchers include:
  • Suitable for complete beginners - no experience necessary and plenty of understanding if you’re feeling wimpy
  • Expert tuition from super cool flying instructors certified by the Civil Aviation Authority
  • Hands on experience of piloting an aircraft - counts towards a licence if you decide to continue flying
  • Peace of mind - all aircraft are checked, re-checked and then checked again and maintained to the highest standard for your safety
SOME vouchers include:
  • A certificate to take home – so you can rub it in the face of anyone who doubts your awesome aviation credentials
  • Extra passenger seating available – bring a friend (or enemy, if you prefer) along for the ride of a lifetime
  • A shiny pilot log book – note down your flight times and have an instructor sign off
  • Classic RAF gear – some vintage flights include snazzy retro goggles and bomber jackets to help you get into character

We think learning to fly is one of the most fulfilling things a person can do with their spare time, and we're not alone. Proper sciencey-types have found that spending money on new experiences rather than possessions is one of the single most effective ways of improving our happiness and general wellbeing. So believe us when we say that if you book a flying lesson today, you or someone you love can be reaping the benefits for a long time to come!
