FLYING
Bede’s Flying Academy offers students an opportunity to pilot an aircraft. Students will have a trained pilot in attendance for the 45-minute flight ensuring that they are able to take control of the aircraft should they need to. The main goal of this academy is to help students gain a better understanding of how to pilot an aircraft and can help them with future flying lessons. FURTHER INFORMATION • Students must have perfect vision (glasses or contact lenses are acceptable) and be in good general health • The student’s height and weight is required for the Flying Academy • The student’s English level must be at least Pre-Intermediate (A2) • A member of staff or another student will usually sit in the back of the plane for the duration of the flying lesson • The plane has dual-controls, so the instructor can take control at any time • There is no personal insurance cover for flying lessons • Students will receive a logbook that officially records flying hours; this can go towards gaining a Pilot’s Licence.
