The experience
Your experience begins at the airfield where you meet your flight instructor for a pre-flight briefing. This session covers the basic controls of the aircraft, safe operational procedures, and what to expect once you are up in the air.
After completing the safety checks, you head out to the aircraft and climb into the cockpit. You will sit in the pilot's seat with access to the dual controls while your instructor handles the take-off and climbs to a safe cruising altitude. Once the aircraft stabilizes, the instructor passes control over to you so you can experience how the plane handles.
While flying over the Leipzig landscape, you will practice basic movements such as maintaining a straight line, making gentle turns, and adjusting your altitude. You can feel the aircraft respond directly to your inputs through the control column as you fly.
The instructor stays right next to you throughout the flight to offer advice over the headset and manage the radio communications. As the session comes to an end, the instructor takes back the controls to handle the descent and bring the aircraft down for a smooth landing on the runway.
