Flying Days

Flying Days for the perfect team building and corporate event

Flying Day EventHave your team experience an exhilarating flying lesson – sitting in the cockpit of their own plane and airborne in no time at all! You can also choose from a range of vintage aircraft and warbirds; such as the tiger moth and the Harvard Warbird.

Flying Days make for the most perfect team building and corporate event. It is a real team activity, building good communication and coordination. A flying day will result in improved teamwork and co-operation, raise self-esteem and self-confidence which equals a happy and productive workforce!

Before flying, the instructor will give you a briefing on what the controls do, what the instruments do, and what to expect during the flight. You may not take it all in straight away, but things will become clearer once in the air. The instructor will do the launch, and then will demonstrate what the controls do, possibly with you gently holding the controls. You will then get the chance to try the controls for yourself whilst the instructor talks you through it. When you get down to a certain level, the instructor will take control to do the circuit and landing.

Flying Days are popular corporate events and team building days, events take place at UK aviation and aero clubs nationwide.
