Fly yourself, together with an instructor in a two-seater Diamond Katana DA20.

Order

A flying lesson in a Diamond DA20 is a basic flying lesson in a two-seater aircraft. You fly together with only an instructor. The basic flying lesson in the sports aircraft is one of the most bought experiences. And with good reason! It is the most fun way to get acquainted with flying.

Location

To fly in a Diamond DA20 a little drive across the border is necessary. The flight school is located at the airport of Aachen-Merzbrück. This is located near Aachen in Germany. Aachen is located just across the border, less than 10 km from Kerkrade. Aachen-Merzbrück is a cosy little airfield with several flying clubs and a nice restaurant (Albatros). There is a lot of activity to see during the day from the different flight schools and clubs.

The time has come!

From the flight school you have a great view on the runway. Enjoy the hustle and bustle of the airport. This will get you all in the mood!

Theory

You start with an explanation of the basics of flying. The instructor will answer important questions in this 'briefing'. How does an aircraft stay in the air? How do the pedals work? What are all the buttons and gauges for? Of course, you can also ask any questions you may have. Are you coming to the flying school together with your partner, friend and/or family member? Then he/she is also allowed to be present. Then you all know what you will experience in the air. You do not have to pay extra for this. Of course, this also applies to the passengers.

The theory part always takes about 20 minutes, regardless of the time you choose for the practical part.

Practice

After the theory part, you will go to the aircraft with the instructor. First, you check together whether the aircraft is ready for departure. Then you drive to the runway, this is called taxiing. Through the headphones you can hear the instructor and the control tower. The instructor asks permission from the control tower to take off. And then the moment has arrived! In the air, you can fly the plane yourself. You can fly everything by yourself except for the last part of the landing. Of course, the instructor will help you with everything. He will take over if you want to look outside. Or if you want to take pictures or a video.

You choose how long the practical part takes. The minimum is 20 minutes, but the longer, the more fun!
