Trial Introductory Flight


Trial Introductory Flight - TIF

A Trial Introductory Flight is a prelude to flying training and allows you to 'try before you buy'. Many clients who wish to undertake a joy flight elect to actually undertake a TIF instead. Why? A TIF permits you to do the flying.

A TIF begins with a briefing by your instructor on what to expect during the flight and how to control the airplane.

The flight will take place in the local area during which time you will experience around 30 minutes of 'hands on' flying. The training aircraft is fitted with dual controls and upon completion your instructor will de-brief you and enter this first flight into your log book.

You're underway!

If you are choosing a flying school, we recommend you fly with a number of schools in a TIF. They are not too expensive; you will build a little experience and you may log the hours. Best of all, however, you will be able to compare the schools you are considering. We invite you to fly with us first!
