Introductory flight in an aeroplane or a helicopter

Introductory flight – first steps in aviation

The decision of starting an aviation course is certainly not simple. Nevertheless, nothing stands in our way to make this decision a little bit easier. An introductory flight is an excellent way to find out if this is the right field for us. Select an aeroplane or a helicopter and take off for a 30, 45 or 60 minutes flight with a flight instructor, who will explain the basic knowledge about the functioning of an airport and aircraft, flight navigation as well as flight communication. Take control in your hands and see how it is to be a pilot.

What is an introductory flight?

An introductory flight is nothing else but a part of the actual pilot training which is always the first element of each course. It allows both the attendee and the instructor to gather information about the predispositions of the participant to become a pilot. Being a part of each basic pilot training, those who went through the introductory flight can resign from that element in their future course.

Where does the introductory flight take place?

Our organization is located on the premises of Bydgoszcz Airport, therefore, all the flights take place in a controlled environment. The introductory flights start and end at the same airport.
