You'll get to feel the excitement of flying a gyrocopter on this 60 minute lesson - but without that buffeting, wind-in-your-hair feeling! That's because this unique model, known as the Cavalon, is a closed cockpit autogyro, and on this session at a CAA approved PPL training school at Rochester Airport near Chatham in Kent, you'll sit side-by-side in the wide cockpit with the qualified instructor, where you can get a better view of how they're handling this dual-controlled gyro before taking the controls yourself to fly it, all whilst taking flight over the Thames Estuary and Leeds Castle areas of the county.
