An Amazing Experience.
Today I came in for the 90 minute 'introduction' flight and I couldn't recommend it enough.
The instructor with me today, Alan was not only a very experienced and seasoned pilot, but was also very welcoming and fun to experience it with. Every system was walked through in order to get a good understanding of it, yet he didn't take control and let you do it all yourself to get a grip of the plane. He went through real life procedures and offered no end of useful information for those pursuing a career in aviation, that is genuinely useful, not like the usual 'get good grades and stay in school' that you're normally told, real applicable skills for when you train. Again, he was super to experience this with.
The flight started off with a detailed tour of the cockpit when you first walk in with the graphic on the wall showcasing all the systems where the instructor ask's questions and goes through anything you're unsure of or do not know, and explaining all the features of the aircraft and the flight you will fly in the simulator. You then climb in to the simulator and get straight to business setting up the systems. After you taxi and take off yourself, in my case, we started flying down the coast and I got to take manual control of the aircraft, which was difficult at parts, but fun at all times, amongst doing other things. Then you return to the airport and run through the taxi and shutting down procedures.
Overall, this was an amazing experience and I cant wait to book my next one. Cannot recommend it enough.
