Aerobatic plane

Every good driver will practise his driving skills during a skid course, and every good pilot will practise his flying skills in case of unuasual attitudes. The pilot develops a better sense of flying while training on spinning, spiral diving, loopings and rolls. Not only very useful, but also very exciting and fun to do! Are you brave enough to fly this stunt plane?

Location

Come to Lelystad for your flying lesson. These airport is used especially for small airplanes and it has its own cosy restaurant. There's always a lot going on and you can enjoy watching all kinds of airplanes coming and going all day.

Stunt plane

You will be flying in a special stunt airplane. This plane is build to withstand all the forces that are associated with the special maneuvers. It is a fast and extremely agile aircraft.

Are you ready?

The flying school has a great view of the runway. Enjoy all the activity at the airport. That's the perfect way to get in the mood!

Briefing

First of all you will hear some basic information about the principles of flying. The instructor will answer some of the most important questions, for example; how does an airplane stay in the sky? How do the pedals work? What are all the buttons and numerators for? Of course you can also ask the questions you might have. Are you coming to the flying school with your partner, friend and/or relative? He / she is of course also welcome to this briefing. So everyone will be informed about your experience in the sky. Of course this is free of charge for you and your companion(s).

The theoretical part always takes about 20 minutes, regardless of the length of time you choose for the practical part.

The flight

After the explanation of the principles of flying you will accompany the flight instructor to the airplane. First you will both check that the plane is ready to depart. Then you will drive to the runway; also known as 'taxiing'. You will hear the flight instructor and the control tower through headphones. The instructor will ask the control tower permission to depart. And then it's time to fly! Apart from the landing, you will have the controls and be flying the plane yourself! You're also going to practice barrel rolls, loops, steep curves and spins. The instructor shows it and then you can take a go! Of course the instructor will guide you with everything. He will take over when you just want to enjoy the view or if you would like to take pictures or a video.
