Even during your first lesson, you will take the controls of the aircraft.

The LAPL has been introduced as a recreational/sport licence which can be attained within less flying time than a PPL. It requires a less rigorous medical standard and will allow you to fly a light aircraft, but under restricted conditions. The course consists of a minimum of 30 hours training and then a skills test.

I took a trial lesson but was really nervous. After a great briefing by our instructor Rob, my nerves disappeared. And then we took off - it was amazing! I flew the aircraft!
