On the day of your flight you'll be accompanied by a Qualified Flying Instructor and in an experience lasting at least one hour, early fears are soon dispelled together with many of the myths and legends. Your Instructor will  explain all the controls and instruments and will afford you every opportunity to manoeuvre the aircraft around the sky for yourself. This often includes the actual take-off.

Your first flight will earn you a personalised flight certificate signed by the Instructor and may be credited towards your own pilots licence, although one lady of 90 years was satisfied to have earned her colourful souvenir!

Your experience of at least one hour should take you over the Humber Bridge and Spurn Point, and a variety of other routes to include Grimsby, Lincoln and Brigg are available. Please discuss your requirements with your Instructor on booking your  flight. Shorter flights do not give you the opportunity to fly the aircraft and see the local area, and extended flights are available by prior arrangement.

Soloflight conduct all their flight training on Piper Warrior four seat aircraft and therefore one or two of your friends are welcome to enjoy this first experience with you for only an extra £10 each, perhaps to record the event with a camera. As the weight and balance of the aircraft is important for safety, please advise the approximate weights of all participants prior to booking to ensure that all people are able to fly. Flying Gift Cards are valid for 3 months.

FAQ
Is it hard to learn to fly?

No. People of all shapes and sizes, ages and abilities have learned to fly. It’s fun, and from the beginning of your training, you get to do most of the actual flying! On the practical side, while flying isn’t a difficult skill to learn, you’ll have to be willing to stick with it until you meet all the requirements. Also, you should consider the cost of becoming a pilot - you’ll have to pay for your medical examination and your lessons.

Is flying safe?

Yes. A well-built and well-maintained aircraft flown by a competent and prudent pilot is as safe or safer than many other forms of transportation.

If engine the engine stops, what will happen?

Modern aircraft engines are reliable and failure rarely occurs. However, your instructor is well trained to land the aircraft safely and your lessons will cover what to do in this situation, including selecting a good landing area and safely landing.
