Enjoy it, If you have a strong stomach why not ask for some Aerobatics? Just make sure that the Aircraft/Instructor you book is capable to avoid disappointment. :-)

heyy can i juss askk sumefin;

my broder iz 12 nd he really wants to do a flying lesson so can he go on a 4 pasanger plane??#

thank u! :D

[JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

No, he will have to do the PPL (Private Pilot License) which is £6500, and the lessons will be in a Cessna 152 (As shown in this video) but your brother will have 5 years left to Acquire the License, he may start lessons now but he will not get the license until he is 17 and i dont think they will allow him to fly solo at 12 i thinks thats also 17

[Biggiebigbig152]

Whilst you can begin to fly as soon as your legs are long enough to reach the rudder controls and see over the cowling at the same time you cannot log your flying hours until you reach the age of 14 years. Solo flight is possible from the age of 16 years and the minimum age for the issue of a Private Pilot's Licence (PPL) is 17 years. Cessna 152's are a very popular training aircraft but it is not mandatory that you train in one. Pretty much any SEP Aircraft can be used. Even the Cessna 172....

Nice one mate :) Im hoping to do my first solo in G-LEIC, i love that one!

[FFTVAviation]

Isn't it just the most fantastic feeling, looking at the right seat and seeing no one is there for the very first time. At last a glimpse of the freedom of flight! And a nice landing. Well done. It looks pretty busy at Leicester as well.

[Biggiebigbig152]

There are a variety of ways that you can pay for your flying, these are flexible to suit you. Please call the Aero Club (Tel: +44 (0) 116 2592360 )directly to discuss what options are open to you.

you can either pay everytime you go, or you can pay for a month then do the month. It can never be after.
