Full description
If your dream at an early age was to become a pilot, you cannot miss this incredible opportunity! With this experience you can take the controls and float through the sky in the Grob G 103 Twin Astirglider , a light and silent aircraft without an engine.
Together with a qualified instructor, you will experience the thrill of becoming a pilot for a day and admire the panorama of the province of Pavia from an unprecedented perspective.
Experience this new emotion and realise your dream... it's never too late!
What we will do
We will meet 10 minutes before the time selected during the booking process in Rivanazzano (PV).
After meeting the pilot, we will have an introductory briefing on how the glider works and how to use the instruments on board. We will be shown how to pilot this particular aircraft without an engine, which uses the updrafts to float free in the sky.
We will be ready to climb into the two-seater glider equipped with dual controls and fasten our seatbelts. We will take off thanks to an aircraft tow and, after reaching an altitude of about 750 metres, we will be able to start our descent using only the wind.
During the approximately 20-30 minute flight, we will be able to admire the province of Pavia from a new perspective and realise our dream of being a pilot. Thecertified instructor will let us take the controls and try out some simple but exciting manoeuvres.
Each flight is unique and there will certainly be a good dose of adrenaline!
The activity lasts a total of about 1 hour and includes an initial briefing, flight and final debriefing.
