General Information

Flying Lessons

Firstly, if you need any advice about which flight or course to take, please contact our Operations desk on the number above.
Some of our aircraft are subject to a weight and height restriction. If you are over 6'3" tall and/or weigh over 15 stone, please let us know at the time of booking.
Please ensure that adequate time is allowed in order to book your lesson. Weekend days are the busiest times and therefore a longer period of notice maybe required in order to satisfy a specific time, day or date (approx. 2-3 weeks).
Shorter notice bookings can be made but cannot be guaranteed. If a specific time/day is not important to you and the weather looks fine an ‘On the Day’ booking may be possible - phone and ask!
We conduct various types of introductory lesson so please ensure you indicate what type of lesson you expect - or if you have a voucher, what your voucher entitles you to (i.e. 2 or 4 seat, aeroplane or helicopter, I or 2 hours lesson).
You will be asked to bring 2 items of identification with you when you come for your lesson. This should be either a passport or photographic driving licence and a copy of a utility bill (telephone, water, gas, electricity). Please ask to speak to the Operations Manager if you are not able to supply an appropriate means of identification.
For those friends and family that may wish to join you at the airport, you may also use this opportunity to check the various facilities available (cafe, restaurant, bar etc.)

ALL LESSONS ARE SUBJECT TO WEATHER CONDITIONS ON THE DAY AND YOU ARE ADVISED TO PHONE ON THE MORNING OF THEIR LESSON TO CHECK. The weather can look great from the ground but may not be appropriate for your type of flight. Conversely, the weather may not look very good from the ground but may be lovely in the air.
Remember to bring your two forms of identification - you won’t be allowed to fly without them!
If you have a gift voucher - make sure you find it and bring it with you.
Find your camera or camcorder and check it has film and power.
Flying one of our modern aeroplanes can be likened to driving a car, so no special clothing is required. Wear comfortable clothes - Ladies, high heels are not advisable!
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your booking is due to start so that a small amount of paperwork may be completed in plenty of time before your lesson.

Report to the operations desk where a member of staff will book you in and help you complete your membership form. You will be asked to provide your proofs of identification; these will be copied and attached to your membership form.

Note: Everyone that flies from one of our schools must be a valid member. Membership is included free for the duration of an introductory flight.

Your instructor will be introduced to you and you will be taken to a briefing area so that he/she can explain the aircraft controls and the basic principles of flight.
Mention to your instructor if you would like to see a specific town or area from the air. It may not be possible due to airspace restrictions or time considerations but there’s no harm in asking!
Turn off your mobile phone before you get in to the aeroplane.
Get ready for an experience you won’t forget!

ALL vouchers are nontransferable and nonrefundable - both in part or in full.
CANCELLATIONS - Please give as much notice as possible if you need to cancel a booking. A minimum of 24 hours notice is required to cancel a booking without incurring a cancellation fee (£30.00 + VAT). If a cancellation fee is incurred it will be charged to the account and will need to be paid prior to any subsequent flight.
OUT OF DATE VOUCHERS - Vouchers that have expired within one month of the validity date may be revalidated for a further 3 months by a payment of £20 pounds + VAT. Only one revalidation per voucher is permitted. In addition to the revalidation fee, any differential between original and current purchase price would also be required.

Everyone at Cabair Flying Schools wishes you an enjoyable experience!
