Into The Blue say:
These trial courses are a popular choice for aero enthusiasts everywhere. Combining sightseeing opportunities from a birds-eye perspective with an adrenaline-inducing master class in airborne antics, an experimental flight is the perfect present for a birthday or special event. For true aerial aficionados, these trial flights serve as an excellent grounding for continuing your studies in order to gain your Private Pilot License (PPL). With schools throughout the UK offering test flights for all ages and abilities, these four-seater flying opportunities are not to be missed. A trial flight is a fun and quirky alternative to a standard flying experience, but if you fancy a smaller plane, we also recommend our two-seater aircraft flying lessons at aero clubs nationwide.
