Description

Discover how an aircraft is flown and take your first flying lesson on our Cessna 172.
On a short flyout above Dresden with beautiful views, gain insights into the fundamentals of piloting. At this interactive station, you will learn how pilots control an aircraft safely, which instruments are essential during flight, and how navigation works in practice. Explore how direction, altitude, and speed are managed, and understand how pilots always know where they are and where they are heading. You will also have the opportunity to try it yourself and experience the basics of flying firsthand, with guidance and explanations provided throughout the session.

Duration per flight 10-15 min.
