Full description
Touch the sky with one finger, thanks to an unforgettable flight experience with piloting test, on board an amphibious hydroplane with dual controls. Perfect for gifts, birthdays or simply to experience the thrill of flying in the cockpit!!!
With you will be joined by flying champion Riccardo Brigliadori, who will tell you everything you need to know before you step in front of the stick. During the flight you will have the opportunity to take the controls to experience the thrill of piloting the aircraft accompanied by a Professional Pilot!
Flying is a very strong emotion that is difficult to convey in words. The flight baptism is the key experience for experiencing a marvellous passion, for discovering the world from an unprecedented and privileged position, for exploring the land around us with new eyes.
What we will do
The meeting point is in Monte Marenzo (Lecco) at the Flight School. We will begin the experience with a friendly group introductory briefing around the aircraft, lasting about 30 minutes, where we will illustrate the basic theoretical notions and the manoeuvres that will be performed in flight, including turns, speed variations, and the landing approach.
Following the briefing, we will be ready to embark on the experience accompanied by flying champion Riccardo Brigliadori or by an expert instructor from his team.
We will take to the skies above the Lago di Como, the magnificent valley of Manzoni's places, with its mountains and fairytale views. Once airborne, we will retract the wheels and try a water landing using the floats of the seaplane before taking off from the water and returning to base.
During the 20-minute flight, the participant will be able to try out basic manoeuvres under the control of the instructor.
The experience lasts a total of1 hour.
