The Trial Lesson is the ideal way to experience flying in a light aircraft for the first time. Many people start with a trial lesson and then decide whether or not flying is for them. Mind you many people have a trial lesson just to experience the unequalled view and excitement that a flight in a light aircraft offers together with the opportunity to take the controls.

Situated by the Thames estuary there are many interesting things to see in a local flight from Southend. People are regularly amazed at the view across the water to Kent and the Medway estuary, up the Thames to Dartford crossing, or looking North towards East Anglia. Local people often say how despite living in the area for years they never realized what it really looks like. Popular ‘destinations’ depending on the length of lesson bought include the Dartford crossing, the reservoirs (Hanningfield etc.), Canterbury, Bradwell Bay and that popular place ‘my house’ (where possible).
