About the experience

Product ID: 14943

Are you interested in experiencing the thrill of piloting an aircraft and enjoying panoramic views of the Dorset countryside? If so, then you should consider taking a flight in a four-seater plane over Shaftesbury from Compton Abbas Airfield, a popular destination for aviation enthusiasts, as it boasts a large collection of vintage and war aircraft that regularly take to the skies. Moreover, the airfield offers pilot training programs for modern aircraft. The instructors are highly experienced, with backgrounds in both military and commercial aviation. They have flown countless hours in various types of aircraft and continue to do so. Your lesson will be in a reliable four-seater light aircraft that is an excellent trainer and a pleasure to fly. Many pilots have earned their wings in this wonderful aeroplane. The airfield has a single 803m long grass runway that sits proudly at 800ft above sea level, with Cranborne Chase providing a stunning backdrop. You can enjoy the panoramic views of the rolling hills of Dorset from the restaurant terrace, but imagine the view you'll have from the cockpit of your plane. What makes this airfield truly special is its location. You'll have the opportunity to fly over some of Dorset's most beautiful landmarks, including Studland Bay, Old Harry's Rocks, and Longleat. But this isn't just a sightseeing trip - it's a flying lesson, and you'll have the chance to pilot the Piper yourself!

Everyone from Reception to the Pilot (Steve) were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a great lunch at the airfield before the flight. The flight itself was superb: lots of opportunity to take the controls and also to take photos. The pilot was helpful in explaining the controls and the aircraft. I will definitely fly again!

Absolutely brilliant. Lovely staff who were informative and helpful. The pilot, Steve, was really friendly and keen to educate as well as just take me up in the plane. This made it really enjoyable as I felt I learned skills as well as having a great flight. There were a couple of weather issues on the day I was originally due to fly, so it was postponed. This was completely understandable; however the staff at Compton Abbas were absolutely brilliant in rebooking it for me and keeping good communications up so I knew what was going on. Fantastic, would definitely recommend. There is also a lovely cafe / restaurant at the airfield which makes it a great excursion.

An excellent experience with lots covered in the time. The instructor was really friendly and inspired confidence. I would love to do this again and would encourage others to give it a try.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The pilot was very friendly and made the experience very entertaining. The only slight negative is that on the voucher I bought it stated that with the pilots desgression an observer may be seated in the back if the plane. However, when we arrived I had to pay an extra £15. As I'd spent a lot on the voucher and it wasn't stated you had to pay any extra I was slightly disappointed. Nethertheless it was still an amazing experience. Many thanks !
