Take off from Easter Airfield near Tain and experience the Scottish Highlands from above on this 30-minute four-seater trial flight. Before you fly, you will sit down with your friendly pilot to plan your route, then climb into a modern training aircraft and soar over breathtaking sights such as the beaches at Balintore, the glittering waters of Loch Eye and the sweeping Dornoch and Cromarty Firths. Once airborne at around 3000 feet, your experienced instructor will even let you take the controls so you can feel what it is like to fly the aircraft yourself. With dual controls and expert guidance, you will get a true sense of cruising, turning and climbing as you glide over some of Scotland’s most stunning scenery. The team at Easter Airfield is made up of active and retired commercial pilots from leading UK airlines, bringing a wealth of experience and professionalism to your lesson while keeping the atmosphere welcoming and relaxed. This 30-minute flight is a thrilling introduction to light aircraft flying and an unforgettable way to see the Highlands from a whole new angle.
