There are many experiences to ensure you can experience all Cornwall has to offer. From viewing local wildlife, helicopter tours of the coast and self-drive boats there are experiences for everybody. We have selected a few holiday experiences to get you started:

Flight Experience in Cornwall

This Trial Flight Experience (or Air Experience Flight) at FlyNQY provides an amazing opportunity to take to the skies and see the world from a different perspective. Discover the stunning sights of Cornwall - from its unique coastlines, cliffs and beaches to its rural villages and towns.

This personal trial flying lesson starts with a full pre-flight briefing from a highly qualified and experienced instructor before being taken to your aircraft. During each air experience, you will be given the chance to take the controls of our aircraft, sitting in the captain's seat in the cockpit. Under the supervision of your flight instructor, you will assist with the take-off and landing of the plane, as well as having the opportunity to experience handling and flying the aircraft - all whilst admiring Cornwall from this unusual vantage point. On completion of your flying lesson you will receive a personalised certificate providing the details of your flight.

Any time flown during a trial flying lesson can be logged towards both the EASA Light Aircraft Pilot Licence (LAPL) and the EASA Private Pilot Licence (PPL) - making it the perfect starting point for anyone interested in learning to fly!
