Air experience or trial lesson?
When did air experience flights become trial lessons?
I hear the CAA are to review this.
Surely the purpose of an air experience flight is to give someone the opportunity to not only experience the thrill of flying and controlling an aircraft, but also to show it as a useful tool.
I seem to remember some years ago a club getting into hot water because they were taking 'trial flights' across the channel to France. But...why not...does this not demonstrate the usefulness of a light aircraft. A bit extreme i suppose but whats wrong with nipping over to a neighbouring airfield for a quick coffee.
