What we will do
The experience begins at the flight school atPavullo nel Frignano Airport (MO) with a short classroom lesson. The instructors will provide you with hints of flight theory, notions about aircraft, controls and on-board instrumentation. After that, you will begin the practical session where you will test what you have learnt and finally realise your dream.
The flight will last approximately 30 minutes and will be carried out in a small twin-controlled touring plane, where you will fly together with theinstructor and, with his or her assistance, you will try to take command by experiencing the manoeuvres first-hand. The landing will be followed by a debriefing, a recap of the experience where you will be able to ask questions and receive your 'baptism of the air'certificate.
The activity lasts a total of 1 hour, but you can spend the whole day at thePavullo Aero Club, watching the activities of the students at the pilot training school or devoting yourself to other activities. In fact, the aero club is a place full of leisure time possibilities, surrounded by mountain-bike trails and paths for walks in the surrounding woods. There are also guided tours and itineraries to numerous places of interest in the vicinity (not included in the participation fee).
