Full description
One minute you're on the ground, the next you're holding the controls of an aircraft. We're talking about the Baptism of Flight in Lodi: an experience that takes you beyond the simple dream of flying, because here you don't just look at the sky... you rule it!
Aboard an agile and agile ultralight and flanked by a qualified instructor, you learn basic manoeuvres, make turns and discover what it really means to fly. Below you is the Po, Italy's longest river, tracing the landscape between villages and countryside at the foot of theEmilian Apennines.
And at the end, when you touch the ground again, you will realise that you have not been on a plane ride. You have been a pilot for a day.
What we will do
The meeting is in San Rocco al Porto (LO), where we will meet the pilot who will accompany us on this unique experience. The first phase will be the preparation of the ultralight: together we will check the nacelle, the surfaces, and the engine, just as real aviators do before each flight.
Once the checks have been completed, we will climb aboard. This is where the adrenaline kicks in: ignition, checklist in hand and... you are already a co-pilot. Every step of the procedure becomes part of your experience.
Then the most eagerly awaited moment: take-off. In a few seconds, the ground recedes, the Po appears below us and we begin our field tour to check the condition and perfect functioning of the aircraft.
From here, the flight gets into full swing: we will follow the bends of the Po River, the longest in Italy, admiring villages, countryside and towns lying at the foot of theEmilian Apennines. During the course we will reach an altitude of up to 600 metres, with turns and manoeuvres that will give you a taste of the thrill of real driving.
The flight phase lasts about 30/40 minutes, while the entire experience - including briefings, checks and preparation - takes about 1.5 hours.
