Introductory Gyrocopter Flight | Benoni Airfield

***Please note that this is a one-person experience, family members may not sit in the training aircraft during the training flight. Booking 60 minute introductory lessons are also possible on request.***

Experience the exhilaration of flight! Learn to fly with a structured, very safe yet relaxed approach. If you are unsure of small aircraft and your ability to accept flying in one, then experience an Introductory Flight aka 'Discovery Flight' with a professional flight instructor. Your instructor will spend one on one with you going over the aircraft using a checklist approach followed by a brief and then he takes you to the skies where you will be able to handle the controls and get the feeling of a pilot’s work-life. This is a basic introduction where you are exposed to the procedures of flying rather than a lesson in flying.

You will be allowed to take control of the aircraft but only during flight and not for take-off nor landing (at the pilot's discretion of course!). You will participate with the general handling of the aircraft and learn the technical jargon in terms of the flaps, left and right etc. All of our small aircrafts are two-seaters. The aim of this experience is to instill confidence in a learn who has previously flown very little or not at all, to impart some knowledge and to familiarize the learn with the geography around the training base. This is also to introduce the student to a light aircraft.
