A first step into real flying
More than seeing Alicante from above
Pilot for a Day is designed for people who want to experience a real aircraft from the pilot’s seat rather than simply travel as a passenger. It is an introductory aviation experience, not a pilot-licence course.
The pilot remains in command throughout the flight. Once the aircraft is safely airborne, you may be given the opportunity to try the controls under continuous supervision. What can be demonstrated or practised is decided by the pilot according to safety, regulations, weather, airspace and operating conditions.
The exact aircraft, meeting time, sequence of the experience and planned routing are confirmed with you before the booking is finalised.
