About the experience

Is there a better way to appreciate the Cornish coastline than by being in command of a cockpit through the skies? It may sound a little daunting, especially if it is your first time, but this 60 Minute Flying Lesson from Bodmin Airfield is designed to put you at ease and get you comfortable in the skies alongside an expert instructor. At its core, it's a lesson intended to give you the basic skills to fly a Cessna 4-seater 172 through the skies, but also a chance for you to explore the heart of Cornwall from the air - as this flight path promises stunning views of Bodmin Moor and beyond. Not only is it a chance to get some flying skills under your belt, but escape the hustle and bustle of Cornwall which can be a bit of a tourist trap at any time of the year. As soon as you arrive at Bodmin, you'll be in the heart of the South West and part of a flying school who have been teaching pupils to fly since 1972. After you've had your safety briefing and an overview of the controls, your instructor will master take-off, letting you enjoy those immediate coastline views along the Celtic Sea and the English Channel. Nothing prepares you for seeing these for the first time, or the feeling you will get when you take the controls! With spectacular coastal views that stretch for miles along this beautiful part of the UK and expert tuition from a passionate instructor, this flying lesson is a no brainer for those who want to stretch their wings and be taken to new places!

Neil
Highly recommended! Amazing experience! The pilot was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I was given the choice of routes and ended up flying over my house! Superb!
Alan F
An amazing experience. I have always wanted to fly a light plane,but never thought i would.I was given a voucher for my 70th birthday. The pilot was a retired airline pilot so i felt i was in good hands. He gave me a lot of information about the plane before we took off and i felt very comfortable when he asked me to take control.i would recommend this to anyone.I will be flying again in the future.
Tim
Having a taster flight at bodmin was great. All pre trip phone calls were polite, accurate and helpful. On the day the team were welcoming even to the children with us. Our pilot was very helpful and explained lots to me. Had plenty of time in control which made it. Fab present, great team and location. Sadly addicted to it now, and might cost me lots in regular trips!
Andrew Sims
The thirty minute flying lesson at Bodmin Airfield was fantastic and I would highly recommend it. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The flight took me over the North coast of Cornwall. Which is stunningly beautiful.
Andrew
Very good
Caroline Lewis MacLaren
Wow! This was a surprise birthday present from my husband to me. What an incredible experience. The weather was perfect and visibility was great. We were able to fly over my home town of Fowey and I got to see our house from the air!! From the moment we arrived, very warm welcome and roaring woodburner. Everyone was so friendly and lot's of useful information. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this as something a bit different and out of the ordinary and as an amazing taster of enjoying a perfect bird's eye view of our beautiful county!

Warm welcome from everyone at Cornwall Flying Club at Bodmin airfield. Instructor explained what we would do and where the flight would go and once in plane explained controls. After take off took control of plane for some time but plenty of time to take photos of lovely scenery. Great experience

BRIAN C HODGSON
After a 30 minute delay on take off due to a puncture we soon reached an altitude of nearly 3 thousand feet and were soon over the south coast of Cornwall taking in the sights of the river Fowey, Fowey itself and Plymouth in the distance. Thankfully it was quite a clear day with little turbulance which would knock the little Ikarus off course. Quite good fun and hope to be up there again soon.
Mark Price
Brilliant experience made even better flying over the local landmarks. Pilot was brilliant and being able to take my family up made it so special. Highly recommended.
