SightSeeing and Experience Flights

SIGHTSEEING & EXPERIENCE FLIGHTS

Many of our based flying organisations offer Flying Experiences or “Trial Lessons” and some offer gift vouchers.  These are usually 30 or 60 minute local flights in a light aircraft, with a qualified instructor, where you have an opportunity to take the controls during the flight.  Please click on their logo to visit their websites. 

Please contact the flying schools directly to make bookings as Brighton City Airport does not operate any aircraft and does not arrange flights.
