30 Minute Light Aircraft Flight in Clacton-on-Sea
- 30 minutes of thrilling flight in Essex
- Breathtaking views of the earth and the sky
- Expert instruction from your qualified pilot
- Take the controls and pilot the plane during the flight
Aim high and get your head in the clouds with this amazing flying experience from Clacton-on-Sea, then look down on magnificent views of the coastline from thousands of feet up. Receive a full safety briefing while still on the ground, as well as tips on flying techniques, before climbing into the cockpit of this intimate, two-seater aircraft and sitting right next to the pilot. The Cessna 152 is a dual-controlled training plane, so after being talked through the controls, take the column (at the pilot's discretion) and experience flying a light aircraft all by yourself. This is a great experience for anyone who has ever wanted to fly a plane, and even those working towards a Private Pilot's Licence (PPL).
