Full description

Experience the unique sensation of piloting an aircraft by taking part in our pilot test in Basilicata.

After a theory lesson, you will climb aboard an ultralight and try to take control of the aircraft; all thanks to the teachings of a professional pilot with 25 years of experience.

A 30-minute flight for a total experience of 1 hour, which you will remember for the rest of your life!

What we will do

I will be waiting for you at the selected time at the meeting point in Lavello (PZ). I, your pilot and flight instructor, will welcome you on your arrival!

Once the participants have gathered, a 30-minute theory lesson will take place, during which I will provide you with all the useful information on the ultralight aircraft and its piloting; I will also explain how the dual controls work, so that you can then experience the thrill of piloting an aircraft.

It will then be time to board theAlpi Pioneer 300 ultralight: the fixed-wing aircraft consists of a closed cabin with instructor and participant stations side by side.

Hands on the dual controls, we will be ready for take-off: we will fly for about 30 minutes over the plains between Basilicata and Puglia, with views of Mount Vulture and Lake Monticchio. And of course, you will be able to take control of the aircraft and turn yourself into a pilot for the occasion!

We will finally land at the meeting point. The experience will last 1 hour in total.

The experience is suitable for 16 years of age and over; children under 18 must have signed authorisation.
