What happens on the day:
When you arrive, you will be issued with any necessary protective clothing (sometimes this is a leather helmet and goggles). You will then be briefed by your instructor before the flight. If you are taking a Trial Lesson you will have the opportunity to take the controls and fly the plane. If you are taking a Pleasure Flight, you will be ‘chauffeured’ as a passenger in the aircraft as the professional pilot puts the plane through its paces.
