Have you ever glimpsed inside the flight deck of the airliner as you are about to go on holiday and thought that?
Perhaps Google Earth doesn’t give you the best aerial view of your house and you could do better if only you could position yourself at that perfect angle overhead…
Or maybe you simply like a good fairground ride and have read that microlights, although non-aerobatic in the UK, can do some pretty cool moves?
At Ayrshire Airsports we offer fantastic experience flights that can cover any or all of the above scenarios, and give you that view out the front that you never get on an airliner – even if you pick the window seat. With our qualified and experienced instructors almost anyone can experience the joy of flight and get that “first flight grin” photo. We can tailor each flight to the individuals requirements whether that’s a sight-seeing trip with minimal “hands on”, a photographic mission or an all-in first lesson with maximum time on the controls and more.
Gift vouchers for flights can be arranged at the bottom of this page and make a great surprise gift for Birthday, Christmas and Anniversary presents.
Our vouchers have not only made fantastic Birthday or Christmas presents, they have also kick-started brand new hobbies and even careers in flying. Our vouchers are valid for 12 months and can be transferred to other people should the recipient be unable to take the flight, however they are not refundable. Once purchased, just give us a call to arrange your flight booking.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT FOR AN EXPERIENCE FLIGHT PARTICIPANT IS 15 STONES OR 95 kgs. MINIMUM AGE IS 14 YEARS (NO MAXIMUM AGE).
Read on to see what you can expect from one of our flight choices below…
After a short briefing your instructor will pilot the aircraft, taking off and then show you the basic controls. You will then be invited to try flying it for yourself, for as long as you feel comfortable.
This flight is a great introduction to the world of flight and an opportunity to view the local area from a new perspective as well as being a great value way to experience what it’s like to fly. Perfect for a birthday or Christmas present that is just that bit special. If you are just wanting to dip your toe into the world of flight then this is the one for you! With stunning views of the Doon Valley within easy reach, be sure to bring your camera!
Being a longer flight, you will have more time to sit back, relax and experience the view from above, sometimes called the aerospace effect, it really can change your perspective of the world below.
Naturally you’ll be able to take some photographs of the beautiful scenery passing beneath you, and, with time to go further afield you will get the chance to experience the landscape of the Firth of Clyde area and beyond. You will also have more time to fly the aircraft yourself. After some tuition in some of the basic flight manoeuvres from your instructor you will even find out why we increase throttle to go up, not simply pull back on the control stick like they do in the films! Ideal for those with a special interest in aviation.
With this flight you are truly at the centre of route planning. We will sit down and discuss what you would like to achieve, and together we will plan the flight accordingly.
This could be a land away to a remote strip (with beach!), a circular route taking in all of the landmarks you wish to see, or an extended flying lesson.
The bespoke experience flight begins at £235 and guarantees 90 mins of flight time, but can be adjusted to suit any particular requirements and duration. Get in touch with your personal requirements.
Surprise your loved ones (or treat yourself!) with a gift that will be unforgettable! Our Air Experience Vouchers are perfect for anyone who wants to experience the thrill of flying.
