A trial lesson is the perfect way to discover the magic of gliding. You will fly with one of our experienced instructors, who will guide you through every step – from take-off to landing. During the flight, you will get to try your hand at steering the plane, feel the air currents and gain an understanding of what it is like to navigate in the air.

The trial lesson begins with a briefing on the ground, where the instructor goes through the aircraft's functions, safety procedures and the basic principles of gliding. Then comes the exciting experience of being towed into the air by a motorised aircraft before you let go and glide freely. You will receive a certificate and we will film the flight so that you can watch it at home afterwards.

A trial lesson takes about 1 hour to complete, of which about 20-30 minutes is flying time.

The experience

The entire experience is designed to make you feel safe from the very first moment. Our instructors are certified pilots with extensive experience of flying with beginners. They adapt the pace, explanations and how much you get to steer to your specific wishes and comfort level. You always decide for yourself how active you want to be during the flight.

Step by step, you will be guided through the preparations, take-off, flight and landing. You sit in the cockpit, see all the controls and instruments, and get a clear picture of how a real flight works. At the same time, the instructor takes care of all the technical and safety aspects, so you can focus on the experience.

For many, this is the perfect introduction to the world of flying – a memorable gift for yourself or someone you care about.
