Initiating flight - Becoming a pilot during a flight

Do you want to taste the sensations of aviation, beyond the simple "first flight"?

We offer you, for the modest sum of 215 €, an initiation flight. Your first step to becoming a pilot or learning a little more about flight techniques. The program is as follows:

You are welcomed by one of our instructors. Your instructor gives you a briefing of roughly 45 minutes in the classroom. These are simple and basic explanations of piloting techniques, performance and the different parts of the airplane, description of the aerodrome, flight preparation, etc. The whole is illustrated by an initiation manual that you keep at the end of the course. He then helps you to prepare the plane, a two-seats Cessna 150/152: exterior and interior inspection, check of fuel and oil levels, etc.
You are ready for a flight of around 50 minutes around the aerodrome during which you experience the aircraft's flight envelope: takeoff, cruise, maneuvers, landing,… you will be in command for much of this flight under the supervision of the instructor. You will also have the opportunity to discover the Ardennes from above. After landing, your instructor gives you a "Debriefing" of the performed flight.
It takes about 3 hours for the whole initiation. Your stay with us ends with a glass of friendship
