Get introduced to the world of flying with a 40 Minute Trial lesson in a 2-seater plane from Turweston Aerodrome in Northamptonshire. If you're keen to explore the world of aviation and start your flying journey but don't know where to start - you don't need to look further than here. Extra care is taken during these flights to strip flying back to the basics, as you learn about how to control the aircraft you are flying in (probably a Piper Cherokee) and have an extensive pre-flight safety briefing before heading out to the skies. Not only is this airfield well located between Milton Keynes and Banbury, but well equipped for each new flyer as it is a fully accredited training organisation (ATO) and has a host of enthusiastic instructors on-site to get you feeling safe in the skies. Once you've flown for a little while up in the skies over Northampton, your instructor will hand over the controls to you and before you know it you'll be steering your way through the skies in no time. If you live close to Turweston - you might even be able to arrange the flight path to include aerial views over where you live! Perfect for beginners just starting, you won't want to miss these introductory flights at Brackley.

It was a great experience.

Brilliant experience - felt totally safe with an experienced pilot, but with a high degree of freedom to fly myself and get a true feeling of what it's like to fly.
Andrew Waide
really great first time flying experience. Good instructor, explained controls well, made sure we were kept safe, and allowed plenty of freedom to fly where & how i wanted. Was everything I had hoped for
guy garett
Perfect day, pilot was a legend and gave me freedom to fly the plane with confidence, a memorable 18th bday present, lets do it again soon.
Piotr Dlugoszewski
Great experience particularly as fairly local, flying over my house!
Instructor was very informative and explained controls etc. in simple style also gently intervening when I had taken over the controls.
Richard
Excellent experience! Ian the instructor is a really friendly guy and made sure the whole experience was amazing. Enjoyed every minute.
Jonathan Loake
The guy who took me up in the plane was amazing, I was surprised just how much he let me do. Once he'd took off and levelled the plane out he let me take over and he didn't take control again until he took it in to land.
M.Chatterton
Booked a flying experience as a gift for daughter's 18th birthday. She loved it! We were made welcome and she got chance to take the controls and fly the plane herself. The family enjoyed watching as well.
Mark
Brilliant experience! The instructor was very welcoming & after a brief introduction to the aircraft controls using a model to explain what each did we went out to the aircraft. The instructor did the pre-flight checks & we took off - amazing! At 1500 feet the instructor handed over the controls & I was able to fly for the next 50+ minutes only handing over control for landing. An incredible 60 minutes and should IÂ want to learn to fly this would count towards my hours needed to get a pilot's licence.
Jack
Booked the hour long flying experience as a present for my 20 year old son. He had a fantastic time, all went easily from time of booking until the end. Would recommend this length of time in the air, being able to take over the controls for longer and appreciate the knowledge of your instructor, without feeling rushed. Would definately book this hour long experience again. Thank you Turweston Airfield.
Tony Herring
The whole experience was just great! The instructor was patient - but allowed a good deal of control and tuition. I will follow up this experience very soon. Highly recommended.
Jim Widdowson
A brilliant experience in the hands of a true professional and support team. Ian made me feel as if I were his first and only client, when clearly this experience is very popular. Great sense of humour and no question was too simplistic. Thanks to all.
Debbie Brotherton
I purchased this experience for my mum who had always wanted to try. She was absolutely thrilled with it and is still talking about it now. I had to change the location of the experience and the staff were more than happy to do that for me. Thank you for making her day, year and always.
