This 30 minute gyrocopter flying lesson, hosted at a CAA approved PPL training school based out of Rochester Airport in Kent, is one with a difference. That's because your autogyro on this lesson is a Cavalon, which is a closed cockpit model that means you'll be sitting side-by-side on the flight with the instructor in this dual controlled gyro. It not only means that you can get a good view of the controls and how they're operating them, but you'll also get the opportunity to take them yourself and learn how to fly this small but mighty machine, as you take flight around the local area which includes some of the beautiful Kent coastline of St Mary's Marsh.
