Introduction Flight
Learning to fly and controlling an aircraft in the sky demands a new set of personal skills which a person must master. Everyone will remember their first flight and air experience which may lead to joining a flying club like Trim Flying Club to obtain their Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL).
There are many exciting things to experience and view from the air, Trim Castle, Tara Hill, Newgrange, Slane Castle, The Irish Sea, however as you will probably be so busy concentrating at the controls of a real aircraft for the first time with one of our experienced instructors, looking out the window at the countryside may be optional.
Joining a club is a big commitment, however Trim Flying Club offers an introductory Flight to the public which allows you to fly with one of our senior instructors in the local flying area for up to one hour. Your flying instructor will explain details of the flight. The flight contributes towards full membership of Trim Flying Club.
The Intro flight of either 30, 45 or 60 minutes is just perfect for anyone who has always dreamed about getting airborne, starting out for possibly a long term flying career, either privately or commercially.
