Cirrus flying lesson Rotterdam

Want to fly yourself in today's best-selling plane? Then book this Cirrus flying lesson now. You will fly in a state-of-the-art plane and you will also get to take one passenger with you.

Cirrus

You will fly in a Cirrus SR20, a state-of-the-art aircraft. The Cirrus SR20 is a four-seater single-engine aircraft. You may also take one more passenger during your flying lesson.

At Cirrus, safety is obviously paramount. The aircraft is therefore equipped with a parachute (CAPS system). In addition, this plane has a glass cockpit. This means you will find digital instruments in the cockpit instead of the traditional analogue dials and gauges. Also, this aircraft has autopilot. These features have contributed to the Cirrus being the best-selling sports and teaching aircraft today.

Location Rotterdam

Flight lessons are flown from Rotterdam the Hague Airport, formerly Zestienhoven Airport. Rotterdam the Hague Airport (also known as Rotterdam Airport) offers various forms of aviation. This airport is not only used for small aviation, but also for scheduled flights. So there's always plenty of activity and you can enjoy all kinds of planes constantly flying to and fro. This will make you feel even more like taking your own flying lesson.

Half-day

When you arrive at the airport, you'll see the planes coming and going. This will get you in the mood! The total programme lasts half a day.

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. If you bring someone along to watch you take to the air, they can of course attend the introduction too. Then you will both know what you are going to experience in the air. You don't have to pay extra for this.

Practice

After the theory, you will go to the plane 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.

This flying lesson has a fixed duration of 60 minutes.

Debriefing

After the flying lesson, you will have a debriefing. You discuss the flying lesson in detail with the instructor. What went well and what can you improve next time? During the debriefing, you can ask the instructor any questions about your flying lesson. Have you got the hang of it? Then you can also discuss your next steps towards a licence with the instructor during this debriefing.
