A lesson will include an on the ground briefing of the basic principles of flight followed by an introduction to the aircraft and its main characteristics. Once on board the instructor will keep you fully updated with what is happening. The instructor will handle the take off and climb and will demonstrate the primary effects of the controls (yaw, pitch and roll).
Then you will get the opportunity to handle the aircraft for yourself. At this point you will forget about the magnificent view, or about trying to spot your house, and will become engrossed in the wonders of flight. This will be the experience of a lifetime and is almost guaranteed to have you booking your next flight immediately after landing.
