About the experience

Product ID: 14945

Looking for a thrilling adventure? Why not try your hand at piloting a four-seater aircraft over Shaftesbury from Compton Abbas? This airfield is a popular destination for aviation enthusiasts, boasting a diverse collection of vintage and warplanes on display, as well as pilot training programs for modern aircraft. The instructors are highly experienced, with backgrounds in both military and commercial aviation. You'll be flying in a dependable four-seater light aircraft, which is an excellent trainer and a joy to fly. The airfield features a single 803m long grass runway situated 800ft above sea level, offering breathtaking views of the Dorset countryside. From the restaurant terrace, you can enjoy panoramic views of Cranborne Chase and the rolling hills of Dorset. But imagine the view you'll have from the cockpit of your plane - it's a privilege to experience it! The location of this airfield is what makes it truly special. You'll have the opportunity to fly over some of Dorset's most beautiful landmarks, such as Studland Bay, Old Harry's Rocks, and Longleat. But this isn't just a sightseeing tour - it's a flying lesson, and you'll get to take the controls of 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 !
