Cessna flying lesson Teuge

Would you also like to fly in the world's most famous small plane? The Cessna 172 is a four-seater aircraft, so you can take two friends with you too!

Location

The flying lesson will be flown from Teuge. Teuge Airport is a medium-sized airport. It has an asphalt runway, but is not a controlled airport like Lelystad. All fields have a cosy restaurant by the runway. There is always plenty of activity and you can enjoy all kinds of aircraft continuously flying off and on. This will make you feel even more like taking your own flying lesson.

Flying lessons with friends

This Cessna 172 is used all over the world. It has been in production since the 1950s. And with 43,000 units, it is the best-selling plane ever. Almost every pilot has flown in it. It is also the most widely used teaching aircraft.

The plane is so popular because it flies pleasantly and finely. This is due, for instance, to the space inside. Even if you are a bit taller or heavier, you can sit comfortably in it. The wings of the Cessna are at the top. This gives you a great view and allows you to take the most beautiful photos during the flight. Besides you and the instructor, two passengers can come along. This makes the package, per person, one of the cheapest. Who are you going to impress with your flying skills?

So the Cessna is great for looking around from. For example, you can fly over Paleis het Loo, the Apenheul, Apeldoorn or Deventer. Maybe you'll fly a bit longer and can even fly over your own street? You'll find a map of the Netherlands at the bottom of this page, where you can see approximately how far you can fly.

The time has come!

From the flight school, you have a great view of the runway. Enjoy all the hustle and bustle at the airport. This will get you in the mood!

Theory

You start with an explanation of the basics of flying. The instructor answers important questions in this 'briefing'. How does a plane stay in the air? How do the pedals work? What are all the buttons and gauges for? Of course, you can also ask all your questions yourself. Are you coming to the flight school together with your partner, friend and/or family member? Then of course he/she can be here too. Then you will all know what you are going to experience in the air. You don't have to pay extra for this. Of course, this also applies to the passengers.

The theory part always lasts about 10 minutes, regardless of the length of time you choose for the practical part.

Practice

After the theory part, you go to the aircraft with the instructor. First, you check together that the aircraft is ready for departure. Then you drive to the runway, this is called taxiing. Through the headphones, you can hear the instructor and the control tower. The instructor asks the control tower for permission to take off. And then that's it! In the air, you get to fly the plane yourself. You get to fly everything yourself except the last part of the landing. Of course, the instructor helps you with everything. He takes over from you when you want to have a nice look outside. Or if you want to take photos or a short film.

How long the practical part lasts is up to you. The minimum is 20 minutes, but the longer, the more fun of course!

Passenger change

If you fly from Teuge, you can change passengers halfway through. Switching in the air is not possible, so you make a stopover. The time is then divided between the two students. If you have a 60-minute flying lesson then both pupils fly for 30 minutes. On the other fields, a passenger change is not possible because the procedures are more complicated. You can, of course, book 2 separate flying lessons in that case and immediately after each other.
