Flying Companions Course

If your friend or partner is a qualified pilot who you fly with regularly then this is a great course for you. We primarily introduced this course as a safety measure – the amount of hours are designed to bring you up to a level that would enable you to take the controls should you need to. However, it is also a great course to do if you just would like a greater understanding of what goes on up in the air, and so that you can give your friend or partner a break on long trips or help them out with the navigation element.

Or maybe you’d just like to have a go but don’t want to do a full license. Whatever your reasons, we reckon about 6 hours in the air will give you a good grounding, along with a couple of hours ground school. If you want to do less or perhaps a bit more then that’s fine, again it is on a pay-as-you-go basis with no commitments.

Keep going until you are happy with the basics and then enjoy flying even more as you are able to play a more active role throughout the whole experience.
