This one hour introductory lesson to flight training will give you the chance to experience piloting a 3-axis Ultralight aircraft
One objective is to discover all the stages of a flight. The training session includes:
A Piloting principles explanation on the ground
A 30-minute flight (*) to practice on the Ultralight aircraft

Ultralight aircraft used for Discovery Flights
Ultralight aircraft used for Discovery Flights

(*) Flying time:
Regulation defines "Flight time" as the time between the moment the aircraft moves for take-off, until it comes to a complete stop at the end of the flight. On average, taxiing takes about 5 minutes. The effective duration of the flight is therefore approximately 25 minutes
