Full description
We know who you are: the one who recognises a Boeing from an Airbus just by the sound of the engines. The one who, when he hears a roar in the sky, has to raise his head.
It's time to move from theory to practice.
In Foggia you can fly for 30 minutes aboard a Partenavia P66C, a robust and reliable aircraft with dual controls. You won't just be a spectator: you'll be able to get behind the controls and experience what it really means to fly.

What we will do
The appointment is at Foggia airport, at the time selected during the booking process. You will be welcomed by the instructor pilot, who will introduce you to the fascinating world of aviation through a briefing lasting about 30 minutes: you will discover the physical principles that enable the aircraft to fly, the characteristics of the aircraft and all the safety procedures.
After that, it will be time to board the Partenavia P66C, a single-engine, 4-seat aircraft with dual controls. And here we go: take off!
Once airborne, you will experience 30 minutes of pure excitement as you fly over the city of Foggia and the Tavoliere region, with the option of heading towards the coast or flying over the hinterland.
If there are two of you taking part, one of you will take a seat next to the pilot in front of the control panel, while the other can sit in the back seats to enjoy the view and take photos. Halfway through the flight, it will be possible to swap places: whoever was sitting in the back will take the controls, allowing both of you to experience active piloting under the constant supervision of the instructor.
After a scenic circuit, we will return to the airport where you will receive your Baptism of Flight Certificate, a special memento of this day as a pilot.
Between preparation, briefing and flight, the experience lasts a total of about 1 hour.
