Cessna flying lesson Breda

Would you also like to fly in the world's most famous small plane? The Cessna 172 is a four-seater aircraft, so you can take two friends with you too!

Location

The flying lesson will be flown from Breda, near Bosschenhoofd. Breda International Airport (also known as Seppe Airport) offers various forms of aviation. There is always plenty of activity and you can enjoy all kinds of planes constantly flying to and fro. This will make you feel even more like taking your own flying lesson.

Flying lessons with friends

The Cessna 172 is used all over the world. It has been in production since the 1950s. And with 43,000 units, it is the best-selling plane ever. Almost every pilot has flown in it. It is also the most widely used teaching aircraft.

This plane is so popular because it flies pleasantly and finely. This is because of the space inside, for example. Even if you are a bit taller or heavier, you can sit comfortably in it. The wings of the Cessna are at the top. This gives you a great view and allows you to take the most beautiful photos during the flight. Besides you and the instructor, two passengers can come along. This makes the package, per person, one of the cheapest. Who are you going to impress with your flying skills?

So the Cessna is very suitable for looking around from. Maybe you will fly a bit longer and can even fly over your own street? At the bottom of this page, you'll find a map of the Netherlands, where you can see approximately how far you can fly.

The time has come!

When you arrive at the airport, you'll see the planes coming and going. This will get you in the mood! In consultation with the instructor, you decide where to fly.

Theory

You start with an explanation of the basics of flying. The instructor answers important questions in this 'briefing'. How does a plane stay in the air? How do the pedals work? What are all the buttons and gauges for? Of course, you can also ask all your questions yourself. Are you coming to the flight school together with your partner, friend and/or family member? Then of course he/she can be here too. Then you will all know what you are going to experience in the air. You don't have to pay extra for this. Of course, this also applies to the passengers.

The theory part always lasts about 20 minutes, regardless of the length of time you choose for the practical part. Even after the practical part, there is still time to evaluate the flight and possibility to ask the instructor questions about the flight or possible further training.

Practical part

After the theory, you go to the aircraft with the instructor. First you check together that 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 the control tower for permission to take off. And then that's it! In the air, you get to fly the plane yourself. You get to fly everything yourself except the last part of the landing. Of course, the instructor helps you with everything. He takes over from you when you want to have a nice look outside. Or if you want to take photos or a short film. How long the practical part lasts is up to you. The minimum is 30 minutes, but the longer the more fun of course!
