Nervous Flyer Programme This one-day course aims to ascertain your anxieties around flying and the aviation industry. We aim to present you with the reality and statistics of flying, aircraft reliability, principles of flight and the professionalism of the pilots flying the aircraft. The day will give you the opportunity to take the controls of the simulator (under instruction) and to perform the basics of flying. From take offs, to basic handling, circuit-based activities with approaches and landing. You will also hear the realistic noises of engines, hydraulic systems and landing gear. Our aim is not to entirely cure your phobias around flying, but more so to make you a little more relaxed when travelling by air.
Captain for the Flight This fun flight is open for anyone who wants to have a go at absolutely any aspect of flying and from anywhere in the world. You name the airport, tell us what part of a flight you’d like to fly and we will tailor-make the flight to suit your creative mind… adverse weather conditions or crosswind landing, zero visibility approach or a clear sunny day. How about just flying around enjoying the scenery? Or maybe choose to land at a favourite airport, or an airport you have always wanted to visit! You could fly through valleys and over mountains to test your general handling of the aircraft. Use any of the controls that you like; throttles, flaps, speed brake, lower the landing gear, use the overhead panel switches, learn how pilots actually start the aircraft and shut it down following arrival at your destination. You’re in the captain’s seat, so choose what you want to do! This flight is the ideal gift for those who just want to ‘have a go’ at being in command of a commercial airliner. You name it, we can do it!
