Pilot for a Day in Cyprus
Take the pilot's seat. During this special flight, after take-off, you are given the opportunity to control a real aircraft in the air under the instructor's continuous supervision. No previous experience or aviation medical certificate is required.
60 minutes of flight time from the pilot's seat
This is a special flight programme, not a pilot licence course. You receive a real opportunity to control the aircraft in the air while the instructor remains pilot in command.
The programme includes separate pre-flight instruction and briefing, an introduction to the aircraft, 60 minutes of flight time with a possible variation of about five minutes, and a post-flight debrief. The pre-flight part is not counted in the flight time. The instructor handles take-off and landing; the permitted in-air manoeuvres depend on safety, regulations and operating conditions.
