The Flight Centre at London Southend Airport (EGMC), Essex

Trial Lessons

Gift vouchers are available for Aeroplane flights in ½ hour, 1 hour or 2½ half hour lessons. Valid for three months and personally addressed, the trial lesson gift voucher is the perfect present for those wanting to experience the thrill of learning to fly.

The flight could be the initiation of a change of career, or you may simply want to participate for the sheer challenge and enjoyment of it. Whatever your intentions, it’s a great opportunity to learn the basics of how a Aeroplane operates, and actually take the controls and have a go!

Upon arriving at The Flight Centre you will be greeted by your flight instructor who will outline the format of the event and discuss your personal flight path. Your time in the air can be logged towards achieving your Private Pilots Licence, and upon completion you'll receive a certificate of achievement which brings to a close the event.

If you need further information our Frequently Asked Questions page has a section on Trial Lessons and Gift Vouchers; alternatively please call us on 01702 54 64 20 and we'd be happy to answer your questions.
