Full description
Have you ever imagined what it feels like to fly a plane over Lake Garda?
The sky opens up before you, the sound of the engine becomes part of the experience… and for the first time, you’re not just a spectator: you’re the star of the show.
We look forward to welcoming you to Calvisano, in the province of Brescia, for a microlight flying experience. Accompanied by an experienced pilot, you’ll fly towards Lake Garda for 30 minutes aboard a Coavio Ala Alta.
You won’t just be getting on board – you’ll truly be entering the world of flight!
What we will do
We’ll meet at the time selected when you booked at Calvisano (BS) airfield, where an instructor will welcome you. You’ll start with a theory lesson lasting around 30–35 minutes, during which you’ll learn the fundamentals of flight and how the aircraft works.
Then it will be time to board the Coavio Ala Altamicrolight . After take-off, you’ll fly over the countryside towards Lake Garda, as far as Desenzano del Garda and Sirmione, before turning back. During the flight, as well as admiring the extraordinary scenery, you’ll be able to take the controls of the aircraft under the instructor’s guidance and experience what it’s like to fly first-hand.
You’ll land after about 30 minutes in the air, and during the debriefing you’ll be able to share your impressions and reflections on the experience you’ve just had.
Including the briefing, the flight and the final debriefing, the activity lasts approximately one hour in total.
