Full description
You were told that you could become anything in life. .. . And so you decided to become a pilot!
Become a pilot for a day with a scenic flight over the province of Padua and take command of an ultralight in the company of an instructor.
Approximately 20 minutes in the clouds, to sanction the beginning of a new love for flying!
What we will do
You are to arrive 5 minutes before the time selected when booking in Monselice (PD). You will be welcomed by the flight instructor who will accompany you on this experience.
After an initial briefing on safety regulations and flight controls, shared with the other participants, you’ll be ready to take your seat in the aircraft. The pilot will sit with you in the two-seater EuroStar Evektor microlight, which has dual controls, and will take off.
And now it’s time to get stuck in: following the flight instructor’s advice, you’ll be able to take the controls of the aircraft. Flying a plane for the first time will be an indescribable thrill!
Depending on the day’s weather conditions, you might catch a glimpse of the Venice lagoon from above or head towards the stunning Euganean Hills; during the flight, you’ll be able to take photos or record videos to capture the landscape below. During the flight, which lasts around 30 minutes, the instructor will be by your side at all times to ensure you enjoy a completely safe adventure.
You’ll eventually land back at the starting point. The experience will last a total of around 1 hour, including 30 minutes of flight time.
